The last day of the Raiders' mandatory minicamp began with a position coach rolling out – pun intended – a large inflatable hamster ball onto the practice field.
It set the tone for a fun day of practice before the Silver and Black set their sights on training camp in late July.
"I was a little concerned because this is kind of like the last day of school, kids get a little crazy, and they do some crazy things and stuff because they know there getting out," Pete Carroll said Thursday. "I was a little concerned, so we addressed that, and they brought all their love and energy today to this effort that we had."
With Carroll's notable mantra of "competition" being at the forefront, the intensity was high to go along with the fun to start practice. As minicamp comes to an end, here are some notes and quotes to wrap it all up.
