#Raiders safety Isaiah Pola-Mao “It’s a fun experience, this is really a whole new defense entirely.” It’s clear talking to the guys today how much Patrick Graham has tweaked things on defense and meshed his views/philosophies with Pete

#Raiders DL Tyree Wilson “This is the biggest year, I feel like I got my feet under me” Noted the foot injury last year really hindered his growth then mentioned last year he felt like he really started to grow

#Raiders DL Tyree Wilson on what he’s been working on: Being consistent running to the ball…I’m trying to bring my cardio up Working inside/outside and being more versatile

#Raiders DT Adam Butler on Geno Smith “Impressive, the guy really is about his craft”

#Raiders DT Adam Butler on Tyree Wilson: I’m pleased with his worth ethic. He’s been trying some new things…as long as he keeps working, he’ll surprise some people

#Raiders DT Adam Butler on Tonka Hemingway and JJ Pegues: Some guys come in and you can tell it doesn’t matter that much to them, these guys, it really means a lot to them Said sometimes it means a little too much to them 🤣

#Raiders LB Devin White on Amari Gainer “That guy works extremely hard and he talks a lot” 🤣🤣

#Raiders LB Devin White on Maxx Crosby “I’ve never seen anybody with no stop in them” Devin said he told Maxx to push him and get the most he possibly can out of him…Devin’s got the ultimate respect for Maxx

#Raiders LB Devin White said Patrick Graham really is one of those coordinators who puts players in the best position to succeed He mentioned there are guys out there who just stick to their scheme and force it but PG isn’t one of them

#Raiders LB Devin White on his goals “Prove that I’m still a leader, I can have a high impact on a team” “Going out there and playing at that Pro Bowl/All-Pro level”

#Raiders LB Devin White said GM John Spytek was a big reason why he wanted to come to the Raiders and said he hit it off with Pete when the two met

Strong finish to practice today for the #Raiders defense Darnay Holmes with a pair of picks and Maxx got one too

A lotta work for Michael Mayer the last two days at minicamp #Raiders

There’s a big opportunity for Jack Bech and/or Dont’e Thornton to carve out a role for themselves in this #Raiders offense Obviously Tre Tucker will be battling for his share of looks too but those rookies add some real intrigue into that WR room https://t.co/2S5hF4bUXz

#Raiders safety Isaiah Pola-Mao is in line to step into his first season as a full time starter He showed a lot last year and is a real key piece on the back end for this group. Having a running mate like Jeremy Chinn will be big for him too https://t.co/FZ957kKeO6

#Raiders rookies JJ Pegues (92) and Tonka Hemingway (97) way are guys I’m going to try and watch a lot of in training camp Real intriguing linemen with a ton of athleticism https://t.co/AJcUOiHYry

This is a big offseason/training camp for Tyree Wilson He’s gotta show this new staff something #Raiders https://t.co/ZksJnf8jGS
