The Raiders are nicely represented in the Pro Football Writers of America’s annual off-field award nominations.
The organization (full disclosure: I have been a long-time member) announced the nominations on Tuesday. The winners will be announced later in the summer. Here is a list of all the nominations.
Las Vegas’ standout tight end Darren Waller is nominated for the George Halas Award. It goes to the NFL player, coach or staff member who most overcomes adversity. Waller has fought substance abuse and was suspended for the entire 2017 season.
