The Raiders have gone down to Georgia, with the goal not of stealing souls but getting in shape for football, whenever it returns.

According to Jerry McDonald and Ben Beitzel of InsideBayArea.com, 34 players showed up for workouts in Duluth, organized by quarterback Jason Campbell and defensive lineman Richard Seymour. Seymour, who signed a lucrative new contract before the lockout, is paying the travel expenses of his teammates.

At least three rookies participated in the workouts: Center Stefen Wisniewski, cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke, and tight end Richard Gordon. The session was described as demonstrating “moderate” intensity.
