Raiders’ Darren Waller dons ‘We Believe’ era Warriors jersey before matchup with Patriots

Prior to a matchup with the Patriots, Raiders tight end Darren Waller wore a Baron Davis “We Believe” Warriors jersey on the team flight.

While the Los Angeles Lakers wait for an opponent in the NBA Finals, the third week of the NFL’s season is officially underway.

Prior to Sunday’s kickoff, a famous Golden State Warriors jersey made an appearance as the Las Vegas Raiders took a trip to the east coast.

As the Raiders were boarding their team flight for a matchup with the New England Patriots, star tight end Darren Waller was spotted with a throwback Baron Davis jersey.

In the Raiders week two Monday Night Football victory over Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints, Waller caught a game-high 12 receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown.

Through two weeks, the Raiders pass-catcher leads all tight ends with 18 catches on the new season. Waller’s 148 yards receiving ranks third at his position. The Georgia Tech product currently ranks as the No. 7 tight end on the Pro Football Focus scale with an 82.5 grade.

Waller and the Raiders will now head into Foxborough for a daunting matchup against Bill Belichick, Cam Newton and the New England Patriots. To advance to 3-0, the Raiders will need another stellar performance from Waller. A No. 5 “We Believe” jersey could be the secret weapon the Raiders need for their east coast road trip.

The Raiders will kickoff against the Patriots on Sunday at 10 A.M. PT.
