ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Reggie Nelson is coming off his second straight Pro Bowl appearance. He led the Oakland Raiders with five interceptions and all NFL safeties with seven takeaways.

“Man, I got homework every night; it’s a young man’s game,” Nelson said with a laugh during OTAs. “They keep drafting safeties, so you have to compete, man. I study every night, no matter what it is. There’s always something that I can get better at and that’s what I keep trying to tell the young guys, ‘Don’t think you made it because you’re here.
