The Las Vegas Raiders’ offensive line is clearly a major key to the team’s success on that side of the ball in the 2025 NFL season.

The team, which struggled badly on offense last season, has upgraded on the unit. Yet, it won’t matter much of the offensive line, which was part of the problem a season ago, doesn’t take the next step this season.

If it does, though, the team could be in business because Geno Smith cooks when he gets good protection.

This recent tweet by NFL analyst Warren Sharp shows that as Smith was among the league leaders last year when it comes to completion percentage on unpressured throws of seven or more yards in 2024.
