Raiders' Eichenberg: Special Teams Star, Defensive Threat

Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description

The Las Vegas Raiders are bolstering their special teams unit with key free agent signings, aiming to fix past weaknesses and give coordinator Joe DeCamillis a solid core group. Standing out among the incumbents is linebacker Tommy Eichenberg, who broke a thirty-one-year franchise record last season with twenty-three special teams tackles. Eichenberg, a third-year player, logged a team-high three hundred seventy-one snaps, showing durability and proving his value on those units. From his days at Ohio State, Eichenberg embraced special teams as the way to earn early playing time behind a stacked defense. Now, with a switch to a three-four defensive front under new coordinator Rob Leonard, Eichenberg faces more competition but could see extra linebacker snaps in creative schemes. Regardless of his role, Eichenbergs work ethic fits the Raiders push to turn special teams into a strength again this fall.
