Raiders rookies DJ Glaze and Dylan Laube opening eyes at training camp
New York TimesCOSTA MESA, Calif. — Everyone knew that Las Vegas Raiders first-round pick Brock Bowers was going to make an impact. “Sometimes after a rack of plays,” Glaze said, “Maxx will come find me and say, ‘This is what I saw … if you stayed square this much longer, I probably would have had nowhere to go.’ Reps are important, but having one of the greats tell you what you can do better is ultimately what’s going to help you improve your craft.” Glaze is set to back up Munford at right tackle this season but has also been taking reps on the left side. … Zamir’s gotten better as far as catching the ball out of the backfield and blitz pickup, and there are some rookies out there that we see flashing.” GO DEEPER Zamir White goes from riding horses to the Raiders' new workhorse running back Laube is listed as 5-10, 206 pounds, and if he really is that big, he still would hear people doubting his ability to measure up in the NFL after a college career in the Coastal Athletic Association. “I’d say the Senior Bowl and the combine definitely prepared me for this, but at the same time, when you step on this field, you don’t really know what to truly expect,” Laube said. “And that first day at camp was kind of my first kind of step to be like, ‘OK, I truly belong here.’ And it’s been all business since.” The first time Pierce watched film of Laube, he said, “Well, this guy played in New Hampshire.” But Pierce said Friday that “it’s translating.” From running the ball in drills to blitz pickup to catching the ball out of the backfield, Laube is checking all the boxes.
