NAPA — Two throws provided some reason to develop hope and excitement for the Raiders offense on the first day of training camp.
Both were high and along the sideline from Derek Carr and Michael Crabtree leaped to high point the pass over a defender, hauling it in and hanging on as they tried to knock it free.
Following his disappointing final season with the 49ers last year, Crabtree had the look of a potential impact player for the Raiders as the team opened camp in Napa.
“He stood out today, made some nice catches,” coach Jack Del Rio said of Crabtree.
