One position where the team needed to get younger was the linebacker position, and the address soon followed as the tampering window opened.
One of the additions was former Green Bay Packer Quay Walker. Walker is a former first-round pick who excelled with the Georgia Bulldogs. He will be joining his former teammate Nakobe Dean to roam the middle of the defense and form a linebacker corps that has been missing from the Silver and Black.
Walker was excited about the Raiders’ direction. The team has the number one pick and plenty of draft picks to build for the future. It enticed Walker to sign the dotted line and join the franchise.
“I just think they got the right people here, especially with the staff, and I just truly believe in what Spy [John Spytek] is trying to accomplish here. I just think a guy like myself, and alongside these guys and Nakobe [Dean] and more people I’m assuming that Spy may bring in, whatever the case may be. I just think we can actually get this thing turned around.
