Raiders safeties coach Matt Robinson, who came over from Ravens, said Treydan Stukes can "absolutely" play a similar role to Kyle Hamilton in secondary.
Said his size, speed and versatility is similar to Hamilton, and hope is that he can bring physicality to his position.
"Everything about the young man is as advertised"
#Raiders QB Coach Mike Sullivan gave us an update on Fernando Mendoza as OTA's wrap up tomorrow.
More on improvements Mendoza needs to make in my hit with @CBSSportsNet HQ this afternoon #RaiderNation
Maxx Crosby on participating in stretch period at OTAs despite recovering from meniscus surgery:
"I'm a leader by nature. The guys need to see me. I want to be out there and be a part of the team... I don't do it because I'm trying to be extra or anything like that. I just love what I do and I love playing football. I love being on the field. That's my whole world. Being able to do the stretches with the guys is something that I think is important... I feel like it helps the team in general, just bringing energy as we get the day rolling."

Crosby said he's "fired up" going into the season: "Everyone knows my love and appreciation for this organization that would never change from Day 1. There's a lot of other things that don't need to be discussed, but ultimately, I'm exactly where I want to be. I'm excited."
Crosby said HC Klint Kubiak and the rest of the staff are very detailed and intentional with everything they do.
"We're trying to get things done the right way and establish a foundation, so when the season comes, we're not out there making shit up. It's just we go out and play football, and we have a plan."
#Raiders QB coach Mike Sullivan on Fernando Mendoza's development thus far:
"It is a long process, and there's no shortcut to it. There's no magic wand where a guy can develop the type of skills necessary to be successful in the offense, particularly talking under center type work or getting into a consistent rhythm and timing with your footwork. Right now, we've gone through the installation [process], and we still have the [mandatory] minicamp; there's a long road ahead.
He's still [learning] what to do, making sure he knows his job, and then we can start to take some of the next steps, but it's a long road [and] a lot of work to do. We're pleased with the work that he's been putting into this point."
