Raiders HC Pete Carroll unretires social media account to share NFL draft hints, and may have already tipped Las Vegas' first-round pick

The Las Vegas Raiders are almost ready to make their pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Of course, they have some business to attend to first, like making sure everything is tight-lipped and sealed right where nothing, none of their information is getting out.
This year, it feels like there aren't really any leaks with the Raiders. There really isn't anyone who just outright knows what's going to happen, even if they say they do, they probably don't. This new regime has done a great job of keeping the leaks out.
Well, besides Pete Carroll, the former Seattle Seahawks head coach seems to be his own leak, and now he is following a tradition he had in the Pacific Northwest.
Raiders' Pete Carroll gives out draft clues
This is something he has been doing for quite a while, but hadn't done it since 2023, because he wasn't the coach last year. His last tweet was in 2023, so it's fair to say that Carroll is unretiring his Twitter.
Just a few years ago, Carroll put out some clues about the Seahawks first overall pick in the first round, and all clues before the pick was in, led to the team out in the NFC West, picking Devon Witherspoon. Of course, that's who they would go on to pick.
Now, he is following through.
Carroll started his night by tweeting out a GIF of Will Smith in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air holding a magnifying glass, as if it were a clue. The caption said that draft clues would be coming soon. But, is this one a clue?
When I see the GIF, I immediately think of Banks, the last name of the family in the show, and the last name of the offensive tackle who has been mocked to the Raiders as of late. However, someone else pointed out that Jeanty, in French, means Prince, or something similar to that notion.
So, right off the bat, the two players who have recently been mocked to the Raiders are now showing up in clues.
Carroll then goes on to tweet out a picture of a scene from the show The Office, where three characters are all pointing at one another. This clue, I'm not really understanding, but maybe that there are three teams in the running for the same player? That one is a bit tricky. But, not a sticky as the next one.
The next clue was a picture of Michael B. Jordan in his new movie The Sinners.
And after that, a GIF of Snoop Dogg.
So, do with that information what you want, but I'm probably just as puzzled, if not more puzzled, than you all are.
