The Raiders' third-round draft pick certainly isn't lacking confidence, and after an impressive four-year career at Michigan State, the Raiders' coaching staff would be thrilled if down the road Calhoun turned into a disruptive force along the defensive line like Tuck.

However, for the time being, Calhoun is taking things a day at a time and going through his first week of on-field work with the veterans, following the conclusion of Rookie Minicamp over the weekend.

While running out of the tunnel – wearing No. 91 – for his first game as professional football player will fulfill a childhood dream, Calhoun hasn't let quite let himself fast forward to that moment just yet, there's still a lot of work left to do.
