RAIDERS Have A TOP 5 DEFENSE? Jeremy Chinn Believes New Coaches, Players & Attitude Deliver It!
Las Vegas Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn shares why he believes the Raiders defense has Top-5 potential, how Pete Carroll’s culture is changing the organization, and why rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza is already earning the respect of veteran players. This interview offers one of the clearest looks yet into the mindset of the 2026 Raiders heading into training camp.
In this episode of Raiders Vs The World, we break down Jeremy Chinn’s biggest comments from media day, including why he believes the only thing preventing this defense from becoming elite is themselves. We also discuss the impact of offseason additions like Quay Walker, Nakobe Dean, Kwity Paye, and the return of Maxx Crosby, along with Chinn’s confidence that he’s ready to become one of the leaders of this football team.
One of the most fascinating moments comes when Chinn explains why rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza has already impressed veterans—not because of his arm talent, but because of the questions he asks and his commitment to learning from experienced NFL players.
