The Las Vegas Raiders made a ton of big moves this offseason.
They got a new head coach, Pete Carroll. There's a new offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly. Then you've got the new starting QB, Geno Smith, and the new running back, Ashton Jeanty.
That's got a number of the Raiders' returning players flying well under the radar.
SI's Ezekiel Trezevant writes that there's one guy who shouldn't be forgotten about: wide receiver Tre Tucker.
"After Las Vegas' issues on offense made it difficult to get Tucker involved, that should no longer be the case with a revamped Raiders offense and coaching staff," Trezevant wrote.
Tucker is a 24-year old playmaker from Akron, Ohio by way of the University of Cincinnati.
The Raiders took him in the third round, 100th overall, in 2023, despite him being just 5-foot-9.
Tucker is electric with the ball in his hands. So far across two seasons, he has 66 catches for 870 yards (13.2 average) and five touchdowns. He also has 19 runs for 121 yards and a score.
The Raiders can get Tucker involved on all sorts of unique plays, the kind that Kelly should be happy to draw up for his dynamo.
Tucker won't ever be the focal point, but he's the perfect guy to benefit from all the attention put onto Jeanty, Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers. While defenses focus on them, Tucker can burst away from everyone.
Whether he'll be consistent enough to be a fantasy football type of asset remains to be seen. But in the NFL world, opponents will have to know where Tucker is.
