Let’s get to know Dickerson:
Age: 25
Hometown: San Mateo, California, and he went to Junipero Serra High school — where Tom Brady and Barry Bonds attended decades before.
College: UCLA

This signing is different than the three previous defensive linemen who signed with the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency as Yannick Ngakoue, Solomon Thomas and Quinton Jefferson will all be part of the playing rotation. Dickerson, though, will likely need to outperform other pass rushers in training camp to make the team.
