The Las Vegas Raiders are getting a step closer to training camp, reaching nearly full participation for Day 1 of mandatory minicamp.
The energy continues to run high along with the southern Nevada temperatures. Despite the heat, it hasn't got in the way of what many feel has been a successful offseason program up to this point.
"The pieces we've added this offseason, the energy, the direction - Pete \[Carroll\] has really master crafted coming in and how to do things, and the guys, we're taking it and we're rolling," Kolton Miller said.
"It's been really fun, and we've gotten so much - this is probably one of the most productive OTAs I've been a part of," he added. "It's not easy, like we're kind of flying around. But no, it's been really good, and I'm excited where we're headed."
Here are a few other notes and quotes from the first minicamp practice.
