Oakland Raiders: Johnathan Abram makes lasting impression in ‘Hard Knocks’ debut

The Oakland Raiders football team has long been defined by one simple word: attitude. And with a new supporting cast this season, that attitude seems to have returned in full force — most notably with rookie safety Johnathan Abram.

The Raiders long-awaited ‘Hard Knocks’ debut kicked off Tuesday night with the ever-entertaining team taking center stage. But while charismatic, entertaining personalities such as Antonio Brown and Jon Gruden controlled the screen time, it was Abram who stole the show.

Whether he was sharing a leisurely stroll on horseback with fellow rookie Clelin Ferrell or stubbornly pronouncing the word “salmon” incorrectly, Abram seemed to be everywhere on Tuesday night.
