The Las Vegas Raiders told the world before OTA’s that Jimmy Garoppolo wouldn’t be participating. The former San Francisco 49er had surgery on his foot after failing a physical before signing his new contract.
With Garoppolo out on the sideline, the other quarterbacks have had a chance to shine. One player making waves at mini-camp is young signal caller Aidan O’Connell. During the practice session, he had a touchdown throw to another rookie Tre Tucker.
Really good sequence from @Raiders rookie QB Aidan O’Connell, including a 25-yard snap throw to Tre Tucker in stride that Tucker took to the house

He caught the eye of cornerback Brandon Facyson.
