New Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison faced the Raiders' defense in Week 14 last season.
All he had ever known were the Minnesota Vikings, who drafted him in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Now, Mattison is with a new organization and is already fully invested in the Raiders.
Mattison, who played against the Raiders in Week 14 last season, told Mike Dixon of Vegas Sports Today he faced a defense that consisted of "ballers all around.". "Going out and getting Christian Wilkins and just ... what they already had, coming into this, now being a part of this, our defense is stacked. Our defense is ready to go, flying around.
Mattison turned in a 66-yard rushing display against the Silver and Black last season before going down with an ankle injury in the second half. He would miss Week 15 and play minimal snaps the rest of the season.
