Trevon Moehrig hasn't played a single down of NFL football yet but is still receiving praise for his ability to cover opponents in training camp this summer. One vocal advocate of Moerhig and his abilities is Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who claimed he wants to pit the young upstart against Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes later this season. This is a huge endorsement and might be a sign that the Raiders' defense is slowly getting better. 

“This guy can actually cover, so it’s impressive,” Carr said of Moehring, according to The Athletic’s Vic Tafur. "And that excites me as a quarterback because I want him to do that to (Patrick) Mahomes.”
