Former Teammate Praises Jack Del Rio's First Year As A Raider

You’d be hard pressed to find someone who knows Jack Del Rio better than Sean Salisbury.

The pair’s relationship goes back to the early-1980s when both were top prep athletes – Del Rio at Hayward High School and Salisbury at Orange Glen High School in Escondido, Calif.

“We went to a super star basketball camp together and formed a relationship probably back in my sophomore year of high school,” Salisbury told Raiders.com during Super Bowl week. “If I got married again, I’d probably ask him to be in the wedding party as one of the guys. I have such a strong affinity for him as a person, and a character and a friend, but I hold him in tremendously high regard as a football coach.
