On August 8th, The Rocky Mountain Collegian reported that Kelsey Martinez was hired as the first female assistant coach for the Raiders. When asked about the move Kelsey replied: “I am from Colorado, so I was a bit of a Broncos fan. But once I started working in Orlando, I actually became a ‘players’ fan because we work with a lot of players from around the league. I just would follow them. Once I came out here, obviously, I became a Raiders. And once you’re a Raider, you’re always a Raider,” she added.

There is an exciting journey ahead for the former Ram as the Raiders head to Miami for a showdown with the Dolphins Sept. 23, and eventually on to Las Vegas where a top-of-the-line Raiders Stadium has already broken ground.
