Why Raiders coach Pete Carroll is tweeting hints during NFL Draft image

Pete Carroll has done this before.

He clearly enjoys having a bit of fun during the NFL Draft.

The Las Vegas Raiders' new head coach is spending Thursday night posting GIFs on his X account. Carroll is giving hints as to who Las Vegas will take.

The Raiders currently sit at the No. 6 overall pick. They were favored to draft Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty as of a few days ago, but now it sounds like a team might trade up to that spot.

Here's what Carroll had posted as of 8 p.m. ET:

Man, Pete Carroll is really messing with people with that dart GIF. Any chance the Raiders trade into the latter stages of the first round to draft Jaxson Dart, the quarterback from Ole Miss?

We'll just have to wait and see what else Pete tweets, and we'll see soon enough who the Raiders choose.
