Can Raiders’ Mario Edwards Jr. finally break out in 2018?

NAPA — Twenty minutes before the Raiders’ joint practice with the Lions on Tuesday, Mario Edwards Jr. received pass-rushing advice from Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp.

Sapp, who won a Super Bowl with Jon Gruden in Tampa Bay and spent the last four years of his career with the Raiders, probably had some words of wisdom the yet-to-break out fourth-year Raider could benefit from. Edwards wouldn’t divulge exactly what move Sapp harped on, but said he executed that move to perfection in practice when beating Lions center and 2018 first-rounder Frank Ragnow to pressure the quarterback.
