It is becoming more and more clear that Dylan Laube fits right in with this Raiders team. While we talk about the personalities of the likes of Maxx Crosby, Christian Wilkins, Jack Jones, Nate Hobbs, and Gardner Minshew, it’s time we put Laube in that conversation as well.
The most recent example was during Friday’s practice when Laube put on some righteous dance moves for his Raiders teammates as captured here by Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.

As Gutierrez notes, Laube earned the nickname “Cheddar Bob” this offseason for his antics which included a bang on and hilarious impression of teammate Maxx Crosby during the team’s beach day at the close of training camp in Costa Mesa.
His personality aside, the Raiders are hoping Laube’s moves on the field can help them both in the run game and the return game. From the time he was drafted, he was seen as a candidate to return kicks in the new kickoff rules as well as be a receiving back out of the backfield.
