Raiders running back competition promises to be interesting battle to watch

Running back for the Oakland Raiders is one of the most interesting position groups on the team. So much uncertainty, so much potential. Usually when the dreaded "potential" word and the Raiders are together bad things happen, but fixing that pattern is part of the culture shift the new Jack Del Rio era is trying to implement.

A great place for the shift to take place is with Latavius Murray building on the breakout way that he ended last season. The fan favorite running back was an afterthought to the coaching staff for much of the year but was able to impress with 548 yards from scrimmage in his last 6 games of the season with 3 TD's.
