Telesco joined the decimated Raiders before this season, stuck with Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell at quarterback after getting rid of Jimmy Garoppolo following a tumultuous 2023 campaign.
It was clear that Telesco had hit the reset button, and the team’s 4-13 finish shouldn’t surprise anyone. But Telesco struck gold when he selected Georgia tight end Brock Bowers with the 13th pick. Bowers’ 112 receptions this season are the most by a rookie in NFL history.
Before joining the Raiders, Telesco spent 11 seasons with the Chargers in San Diego and Los Angeles.
