Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell looked up to just one quarterback growing up.
He is a pure pocket passer who does not run often, makes quick decisions, and does not take many shots downfield. He is accurate and gets the ball out quickly.
O’Connell is competing to be the starter for the Silver and Black in 2024 with veteran free agent addition Gardner Minshew, a position Coach Antonio Pierce says he has earned. The competition between O’Connell and Minshew will be worth monitoring throughout training camp. O’Connell models his game after one quarterback, his favorite quarterback growing up. He joined defensive end Maxx Crosby on the latest episode of his podcast, The Rush with Maxx Crosby, to reveal who it is.O’Connell also said he’s been able to speak with Brady, who is still waiting to become a minority owner of the Raiders.
“I’ve seen him a few times last year. It was crazy. The guy I try to model my game after, that I’m such a huge fan of for a long time, to get to hear him talk about the offense I was in last year, to hear him talk about it, he was in it for 20 years, whatever it was, was awesome, a dream come true. But at the same time, I’m trying to make my name, carve it out for myself.
