Watch: Raiders DC Patrick Graham Post-OTAs Moments Ago

Raiders' running back Raheem Mostert spoke shortly after joining the Raiders earlier this offseason. We have a partial transcript of what he said below.

Q: Obviously, you've been around the NFL, been on multiple teams going into your 11th season, markets like Miami and San Francisco. I know it hasn't been a very long time since you got to town, but what excites you about representing Las Vegas now, only six years after the Raiders got to town here?

Mostert: "Yeah, honestly, man, the Raiders, man, you think about this organization, you think about the history, the three Super Bowls that they have, everything that this entails, the shield, right? Silver and Black man, it’s just unbelievable. So, I'm just excited about the opportunity. I know the fan base is crazy. I mean, I was playing in San Francisco with the 49ers, and even then, you can't compare the two organizations to one another, because both of them, in the grand scheme of things is just unbelievable in the fan base. So, it's going to be exciting to be out here in this Silver and Black.”

Q: When you look at this offense that you are going to be joining with Chip Kelly, are there some things that you have seen from afar within Chip’s offense that makes you feel like you can replicate the success you had with Mike McDaniel in Miami or in San Francisco?

Mostert: “Yeah, it's run scheme. I noticed that it’s definitely tailored to the type of run scheme that I'm used to, the type of game that I can form my game into. And just talking with Chip last week, he brought it up too, that it's all similar. Just the verbiage is going to be different obviously, but everything is relatively the same.”
