“Henry Ruggs at wide receiver brings that speed, brings the swag in the robe. I like the robe look,” said Reaves, wearing a Raiders jersey, on the Knights’ Twitter account. “Damon Arnette brings the boom at cornerback. So please, Vegas, whether you’re a Knights fan or you’re a Raiders fan — you should be both — but no matter what you are, join me in welcoming the first two first-round picks to your Las Vegas Raiders, baby. Let’s go.”
The Knights also welcomed the newest members of the Raiders family with freshly made jerseys.
