Raiders' staff slapped stickers on players' helmets at Senior Bowl
Jon Gruden added extra incentive to the 2019 Senior Bowl.
The Oakland Raiders head coach - who led the North team in Mobile, Ala. - and his staff slapped stickers on the helmets of players who made big plays.
They weren't exactly small stickers, either.
Love Jon Gruden just slapping Raiders stickers on players after good plays. Not even straight. Wrinkles everywhere. Just smacks it wherever he pleases. pic.twitter.com/CdwzoWWq3u

Though not seen in the NFL, sticker slapping isn't all that new to college football. Ohio State and Florida State are among the teams that award helmet decals to individual players for great plays or contributions on the field.
