Despite all the relocation talk that’s dominated the news, one of the biggest announcements today was Oakland Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie being awarded Sporting News’ Executive of the Year award — his second such award of the offseason.
The Raiders sent word out via their official Twitter account, including a picture showing an elated McKenzie accepting the honor.
McKenzie is certainly deserving of the recognition for this award, as he has completely turned around what once was the doormat team of the NFL.
Oakland is coming off their best season since 2002, which was also their last winning season.
