I hope you’re not tired of hearing about Arden Key yet, because he’s not done showing up in training camp. He was the standout of the first half of camp and is continuing his strong camp in the home stretch.


quote:


Today in pass rush drills he did something he’s done several times before and something he had never done. He beat Kolton Miller which he’d been doing routinely. He drove outside, then put his foot in the ground for a quick spin and shot in for the sack.

Beating the Raiders two rookie tackles has kind of become old news for Key at this point.

Today he did one better. Much better; he beat Kelechi Osemele. And he beat him bad. Osemele tried to jam him in his chest and with one motion he swiped over Osemele’s arm and went by him. Osemele was left standing there blocking air as Key was chasing down his QB.



quote:

“We love Key. We’ve liked him since the draft process,” said Gruden after Monday’s practice. “We’ve felt lucky to get him where we got him. You go back two years ago and watch him at LSU, he’s as good an edge rusher as there is in the country. He struggled a little bit his last season in Baton Rouge but Chuck Smith, who is his private coach in the offseason, sent us a lot of videos and kept us up to speed. There are some things this kid can do that is very special.



Twitter reactions are in the article:

I wish him the best and hope he keeps it all together.

Too bad he couldn't bring it last year when we needed him.

Arden key is and always has been a beast.

If he could have gone to the draft in 2016 he’s an easy first rounder.

He worked his arse off in 2015 and 2016. Has some injuries in 2017 and people are ready to just give up on the guy.

Tiger fans have a serious case of eating their own.

No one should be surprised by this. He is a special talent. As a pass rusher he will make Myles Garrett look like a traffic cone. He’s every bit of what we have said he is. His last year at LSU was an embarrassment and cost him a TON of money but it doesn’t change what kind of player he is if he is in shape. He can completely take over a game. He will be the DROY.

Questionable injuries to say the least, it was very apparent the dude just checked out all last year. I appreciate what Arden did for us before last year, but he really did hurt the team (and himself) with the stunt he pulled last year.

I'll give you two without even thinking about it: Harvey Williams and Wendell Davis, and I can come up with more

If Key keeps his head on straight and stays in shape then the Raiders got a top 10 pick value in the 3rd round.
