The winner of the first “Player Of The Game” award in the 2018 season is none other than running back Chris Warren. Warren was the team’s workhorse back in the second half, carrying the rock 13 times for 86 yards as he helped the Raiders grind out a win to start the pre-season.

Warren showed that he can be a complete package in the NFL, making plays in space, but also punishing defenders between the tackles. He’s got the body to be an every-down runner in the NFL, but just needs more experience at the position. Here is what head coach Jon Gruden had to say about him after the game:

Warren is currently in a battle with DeAndre Washington, Jalen Richard and Doug Martin for a spot on the roster, but he was clearly the best back on the roster on Friday night, outside of Marshawn Lynch. If Warren can continue to play at this level in the next three games, then he is well on his way to securing a roster spot.
