Silver Minings: Telesco sees Mattison as a ‘well rounded’ player

The Las Vegas Raiders lost Josh Jacobs, their lead running back for the past five years. After finishing the season, Zamir White appears to be the next bell cow. He accumulated 397 yards on 4.7 YPC during his first four starts as an RB.

White displayed promise to end the year, but the new general manager, Tom Telesco, wants to make a committee. Ameer Abdullah was re-signed before free agency, and Alex Mattison was from the Minnesota Vikings.

Mattison was expected to replace Dalvin Cook but had a disappointing season. He finished the year losing carries to Ty Chandler, but the Raiders believe in his potential.
