The Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle position is changing drastically in 2022, but there will be a familiar face in the group. The Raiders are reportedly bringing back defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins.
Hankins’ return is not a surprise since he has previously played under new Las Vegas defensive coordinator Patrick Graham. Graham was the New York Giants’ defensive line coach in 2016. Graham complemented Hankins when talking to the media recently.
Hankins has been a big part of the Raiders’ defensive front since 2018. He has started all but five games in four seasons with the Raiders.
