Predictably, new Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels has brought in several players whom he and many members of his staff have had familiarity with.
One position where McDaniels went back to his roots was at running back when he signed both reserve running back Brandon Bolden and fullback Jakob Johnson. Both Bolden and Johnson played for McDaniels with the New England Patriots where, of course, McDaniels was the offensive coordinator.
“Look, the opportunities that we had to add a few players that you have some familiarity with, that never hurts,” McDaniels said this week at the NFL owner’s meetings.
