The good, the bad & the ugly
First-round draft pick Clelin Ferrell admittedly didn’t have the type of impact he and the Raiders expected during his rookie season. As he cleaned out his locker following the end of the regular season, Ferrell vowed to come back bigger, stronger and better.

Carlson sat down with S&BI recently to give a first-person account of what goes into his kicking, from the moment he gets the signal from special teams coach Rich Bisaccia to the moment the ball sails through the uprights. Call it Carlson’s anatomy of a kick:
