Coming from the Atlanta Falcons , Cousins is ready to play whatever role the Raiders want him to. Whether that is as a mentor to Fernando Mendoza, the player Las Vegas is expected to take at No. 1 overall in the draft, or as the starter for Klint Kubiak And if he's the starter, he'll have some weapons at his disposal, like tight end Brock Bowers, whom Cousins thinks might just be the best in football.

"Yeah, I think he may be the best tight end in football," Cousins said via the team website's Levi Edwards . "Hopefully, we can make that a reality this fall. Gotta keep him healthy, just like some of the other great players on this team.

"I've always really enjoyed playing with talented tight ends because of the curveball that it throws at defenses. I expect Brock to be as good of a curveball as I've ever played with. Can't wait to see how we can use him and to get on the grass with him.
