Tanner Muse profile: How he went from baseball star to champion safety to Raiders linebacker

This is becoming all too common as I run through profiles of different 2020 rookies around the NFL: though top-ranked high school recruits often have gifts (and advantages) that eventually get them drafted, I’d bet most of the league is made up of players who made up a ton of ground from 18 to 22 in order to get drafted.

Born on September 6, 1996, Tanner Muse was brought into this world in between a pair of losses by the Oakland Raiders at the beginning of the 1996 season: A 19-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and 19-3 to the Kansas City Chiefs.
