The Raiders expect their 2025 offensive line to be a strength, with Jordan Meredith penciled in to anchor the center position as the unit’s potential keystone. Meredith’s rise could shape the run game and pass protection, giving Las Vegas a sturdier interior if he reaches his upside.

To fit him, the Raiders moved Jackson Powers-Johnson from center to guard—a bold shift that tests interior chemistry and could redefine how the five-man front performs. Meredith’s size limitations are noted, but the new staff believes his growth could lift the line and, in turn, the offense’s efficiency this season.

Meredith’s emergence may dictate Chip Kelly’s offensive outputs in 2025, hinging on development behind him and the rest of the blockers. If the center can anchor consistently, the Raiders’ trench dominance could become the backbone of their attack.
