Scouting Report

Last year, Darrius Heyward-Bey emerged as one of the top threats on the Raiders’ offense.  Going into the new season, Darrius Heyward-Bey looks to build on his 2011 season. “DHB”  excels at catches at catching short passes and turning them into big-plays. Offensive coordinator, Gregg Knapp will give DHB plenty of opportunities to have a major impact on the Raiders’ offense. If Heyward-Bey wants to become an elite receiver he will need to be more physical at the line of scrimmage, as well as improve his ability to catch deep passes. Look for Darrius Heyward-Bey to have a big year in 2012.
