The Las Vegas Raiders have had plenty of issues to begin the 2025 NFL season. While the offense has been a much bigger problem, the defense has undergone its share of bumps and bruises despite a handful of strong showings.
The secondary, in particular, has been a major letdown, as multiple players have already proven that they don't deserve their starting role. One of those players is Kyu Blu Kelly, who has been one of the worst cornerbacks in the league through seven games.
While third-round rookie Darien Porter has looked much better in his limited playing time, Las Vegas has refused to give him the starting gig over Kelly.
