When healthy, Dean is a rock-solid starting quarterback. But he also can bring some nice pass-rush juice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">According to a X post by Next Gen Stats, the former Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 standout generated the NFL\u2019s highest sack rate percentage in the past two seasons. His sack rate of 14.8 percent led the league in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He has a total of 7.5 sacks in four seasons. He had four sacks alst seoans. Dean isn\u2019t primarily a pass-rusher, but when let loose he can deliver. That\u2019s a skill the Raiders can use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In other Raiders\u2019 news:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Las Vegas Raiders expect a lot from free-agent addition, linebacker Nakobe Dean.
