Back to EpisodesRaiders Sign Young Special Teams Star
Description
The Las Vegas Raiders have signed Dareke Young, a six-foot-two, 224-pound wide receiver and special teamer, to strengthen their roster. Young, a North Carolina native, brings four seasons of experience from the Seattle Seahawks, where he primarily focused on special teams duties like kick returns and gunner roles. He made a crucial play last season by recovering a muffed punt in the NFC championship game against the Rams, contributing to the Seahawks Super Bowl victory. Offensively, he has just four catches on six targets in his career. Young shares a direct link to the Raiders new head coach Klint Kubiak, having played under him in Seattle in 2025. This move gives Las Vegas some continuity and depth as they build around their new staff, with Young set to contribute as a special teams player at nearly 27 years old.
