In 2017, the Los Angeles Chargers drafted Isaac Rochell in the 7th round of the NFL Draft. The defensive edge spent 4 seasons in LA. After the 2020 season, the player moved to the Indianapolis Colts for one season, where he would play 12 games in which he was not stacking up stats to help his career. In 2022, the DE moved to the Cleveland Browns for a new start. However, he was only able to amass 6 games with the team and was later released from the franchise. While it looked like a wrap on the season, another opportunity came calling right before the new year.
Around a week before the end of the year, Rochell got a call from his agent demanding he book a flight to Vegas. The purpose of the calls was to notify the player that he was being signed by the Las Vegas Raiders. What made this even more special was the fact that his wife, who is active on YouTube, documented this special day.

We certainly have been on a roller coaster in our 9 years together.” Carr wrote on Instagram. “It’s especially hard to say goodbye because I can honestly say that I gave you everything I had, every single day, in season, and in the off season. It certainly wasn’t perfect, but I hope that I was able to leave you with more than a few great memories as Raider fans.”
