Unknown Raiders rookie quietly stealing a roster spot in preseason

The star of the Las Vegas Raiders' first preseason game wasn't prized rookie running back Ashton Jeanty. Nor was it new quarterback Geno Smith, star defensive end Maxx Crosby, or any of the other marquee players on this roster.

It was a player most fans had never heard of.

Rookie defensive tackle Treven Ma'ae was a long shot to even make the Raiders' final roster, but after stealing the show in their preseason matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, he's putting everyone on notice.
