Raiders training camp outlook: Wide receivers

One story in a series, looking at position breakdowns for the Oakland Raiders, who arrive for training camp in Napa, CA, on July 24. Today – a look at wide receivers:

Can Jerry Rice and Tim Brown play forever? No, it just seems that way.

Rice is entering his 19th NFL season while Brown is going into his 16th campaign. Despite their advancing ages of 40 and 36 respectively, they continue to be productive receivers even though they may lack the ability to get deep as they once did.

Best receiving corps in the NFL.

No argument here. My only concern is the drop off after the number three position. Most are unproven commodities. Hopefully Gabriel and one of the other guys can step up big in camp.
We do have the luxury of having a great receiving TE in Jolley as well as a potential star in Teyo Johnson to take some of the pressure of the wr's. Plus Garner coming out of the backfield.

I expect great things from Ryan Hoag. He definantly had the speed. Let us not forget Jerry Rice came from Mississippi Valley State. Small school does not mean a thing. I predict he will make the team and be great for us in the future.
