Many rookies on the Raiders' offense have been making an impact during Raiders training camp on both Raiders offense and Raiders defense.

One rookie wide receiver on the Raiders offense has been making an impact in the Raiders training camp. That offensive rookie is wide receiver, Tre Tucker.

Tre Tucker was selected 100th overall by the Raiders during the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of the University of Cincinnati. His speed impressed the Raiders and is a good fit for the Raiders' current expansive receiver room. He ran a 4.40 40-yard dash, tied for sixth out of other wide receivers at this year's 2023 NFL Combine.

Head coach Josh McDaniels has had the chance to share his impressions on Tre Tucker throughout Raiders training camp.

"Very, very mature guy. Very bright. His talent, I think everybody saw that coming out in the draft. But he's a very good fit relative to our group. And he learns very quickly, and I think that's a really good trait to have for a young player. He's not a big error repeater. He can take something, a correction, and then try to make that correction show up on the field the next opportunity that he has. Like every young player, he'll make some mistakes. He's still got a long way to go. But relative to the way he goes about his business, a mature, intelligent approach. He really works at it, tries to make sure he takes the corrections to heart and then implements them in his game. I think he's been great to work with, really excited about continuing to do that."

With plenty of training camp left and Raiders playing in their three preseason games, the rookie wide receiver is worth watching as he will continue to impact the very talented Raiders' expansive receiver room.

The Silver and Black open the preseason by hosting the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Aug. 13, at 4 p.m. EDT/1 p.m. PDT.
