The Las Vegas Raiders are shifting to a running back by committee approach next season, and free agent signing Alexander Mattison projects to be a key piece of the Raiders’ backfield in 2024. So, Silver and Black Pride reached out to our friends at the Daily Norseman and Christopher Gates was kind enough to answer five questions about the former Minnesota Viking.
Question: How would you describe Mattison’s running style?
Answer: Mattison is more of a between-the-tackles sort of runner, but he has difficulty creating the yardage on his own. If the hole is there he can hit it for a decent gain, but if there isn’t anything there he doesn’t have a lot of ability to cut things back and make things happen.
