NAPA, Calif. (AP) -After four days of limited contact drills, the Oakland Raiders will hit for the first time Monday.
Rookie Lamarr Houston can’t wait.
Houston was one of the Raiders’ most noticeable players during offseason workouts, as much for his frequent flare-ups with teammates as for his play. Don’t expect much change when the pads go on.
“That’s just how I am,” Houston said Sunday, taking a break from the team’s two-a-day workouts. “I love the game and I love to play. Until they tell me not to play, I’m going to go out there and play to the fullest.”
That attitude – and a need to plug one of the NFL’s weakest run defenses – is precisely why the Raiders made Houston the 44th overall pick in April’s draft.
