Oakland Raiders head coach Art Shell will reward two rookies for their hard work. Shell has named second-round pick outside linebacker Thomas Howard and third-round selection right guard Paul McQuistan as starters for the upcoming season. In the meantime, Raiders first-round pick Michael Huff is fighting for a starting spot at safety. "I want the best football players out there," Shell said. "In this league you can play with young guys if the guy has talent. They're going to make some mistakes, but you can live with them if they make them aggressively."
