The Oakland Raiders have a lot of improvement to make after last season. But who can help them make these improvements? Who has the most to prove on the team?

The Oakland Raiders enter the 2018 season with the expectations that the team will have a bounce back season. In 2016, the team was among the best in the league. Their fortunes were reversed in 2017 when the team fell from grace, finishing in third place in the division.

This poor season caught many by surprise. As a result of this, head coach Jack Del Rio was fired, just one season after leading his team to a 12 win season.

With a new head coach, that being Jon Gruden, and an entirely new system as a result, the team should look much different this season–for better or worse.

The jury is still out on whether the team will return to their previous form, or remain a bottom feeder in the league. There is a multitude of factors that will come into play when the season plays out and the fate of the team is decided.There are several Raiders who must perform well if the team wants to return to contention.

Coming off of a season as bad as last season’s, the whole team has something to prove.But there are certainly some with more to prove than others.

But who are these people? That is exactly what we are here to find out today. Here are three members of the Oakland Raiders with the most to prove in 2018.
