Nicholas Morrow, LB

Nicholas Morrow has been in the NFL for four years now and all of these seasons have been with the Oakland, now Las Vegas, Raiders. While Morrow has been with the team that long, he was only really considered a starter last year.

Up until 2020, Morrow had only started a handful of games each year finishing with modest numbers. In 2020, Morrow started 11 games, and he really gave us an insight into what his play could be like if given the chance to shine.

Morrow finished last year with 78 tackles, which was good for the top four on the Raiders’ defense. He also added 3.0 sacks, nine tackles for a loss, nine passes defended, one interception, and one forced fumble and recovery.

With Corey Littleton and Nick Kwiatkowski also on the roster, the Raiders haven’t had to move quickly on Morrow if they even decide to reach out to him at all. Either way, with the Saints in need of a linebacker, they should reach out to this potential stud.
