Defensive end is a very often talked about position in the NFL. These guys are thought of as the primary pass rushers and make names for themselves by racking up sacks. This year it seems to be open competition. We have two former Pro Bowlers in Derrick Burgess, who was the first Raider to ever lead the NFL in sacks and Greg Ellis who joined us recently after being released from Dallas. Then we have Trevor Scott who was a late round pick last year who tied the team lead and the NFL rookie lead in sacks. Also joining the competition is Jay Richardson, who has started opposite of Burgess the last 2 seasons and Greyson Gunheim who was the first called up from the practice squad last year. Then we also drafted 3 rookies that are capable of playing defensive end.
