The Las Vegas Raiders are one of the best teams in the league at giving their fans great media access to all things happening inside of the franchise. They post YouTube videos daily, keeping fans involved, allowing press conferences and media availability to be heard clearly and accessible, and allowing the media to talk to players in the locker room.
A lot of that has to do with the players, though. Those guys don't always want to talk, as they have bad days just as often as we do. They are humans. But, they sometimes go out of their way, and it allows the fans to get a better feel for everything.
So, the local media of the Las Vegas Raiders gives out an award to one player who has been the most helpful in the media. This year, they selected offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor.
Here is what the Raiders PR team tweeted out about the award:
T Jermaine Eluemunor has been named the 2023 recipient of the Craig Long Award. Chosen by the Las Vegas chapter of the PFWA writers the Craig Long Award is presented annually to the player who best exemplifies professionalism and collaboration with the media.
From everything we have seen, Eleumunor definitely deserves this award.
