5 Things to Watch: Panthers vs. Raiders

Testing their young corners

Like the Panthers, the Raiders also have a rookie corner starting in Damon Arnette. The Ohio State product was a first-round pick in the spring, and Las Vegas has been high on his potential. While the club signed 10-year veteran Prince Amukamara in May as insurance, Arnette made enough progress in training camp for the Raiders to start him.

Las Vegas’ cornerbacks are both young, as the starter opposite Arnette, Trayvon Mullen, is entering just his second season. Mullen started 10 games for the Raiders last year, recording an interception and 10 passes defensed.

Everyone knows McCaffrey is going to get his share of touches. But there could be some opportunities for Moore, Anderson, and Samuel to take advantage of the young secondary’s mistakes, particularly with a savvy quarterback like Bridgewater.
