The Las Vegas Raiders have one big concern with their secondary in 2024, but that concern does not come from the safety group, where the team has a pair of talented starters in Tre'von Moehrig and Marcus Epps.
Moehrig in particular is coming off the best season of his career after he had personal bests in interceptions (three), passes defensed (eight), sacks (two), tackles (83) and passer rating allowed (79.5) in 2023.
Coming off that kind of campaign, CBS Sports' Jordan Dajani listed Moehrig as an under-the-radar player who could become a star in 2024. Here's what he wrote:
Trevon Moehrig had his best NFL season under Antonio Pierce, recording 83 combined tackles, his first two career sacks, eight passes defensed and three interceptions. Career numbers all across the board. The Raiders could have a top-10 defense in 2024, and Moehrig patrolling the secondary will be a reason why. Moehrig's NFL career has been somewhat of a rollercoaster so far, but I imagine his best playing days are ahead.
While Raiders fans know just how good Moehrig is, he is definitely underrated in the national media overall. He can change that with another strong season that would put him in the conversation among the league's best at the position.
If Moehrig can answer the bell, he'll also set himself up for a nice payday in 2025, when he'll be an unrestricted free agent.
