HENDERSON, Nev. -- When the Las Vegas Raiders signed safety Jeremy Chinn in March, they saw a player who could be a versatile chess piece in defensive coordinator Patrick Graham's scheme.
Since entering the league in 2020, the 27-year-old has played multiple spots on defense -- a trait he takes pride in. In 71 career games, including 67 starts, Chinn -- a former Carolina Panther and Washington Commander -- has played more than 1,000 snaps at safety and outside linebacker, 389 snaps at inside linebacker, and 908 in the slot.
"I think it started early on in my rookie season," Chinn said.
