Veteran linebacker and Raiders team captain Tahir Whitehead joins the Raiders Talk Podcast to explain why he’s optimistic following the Silver and Black’s 1-1 start, and why this long stretch of road games shouldn’t faze a high-character group. Most of our conversation isn’t about football, discussing what it was like for him growing up in a rough neighborhood, the pivot point in his life that led to a long, productive NFL career and why it’s so important for him to set the right example for kids like him, who need positive role models and a push in the right direction.
