Jack Bech’s rookie season with the Raiders hasn’t been what he’d have expected. But being with the Raiders, especially in the last few years, one can’t expect much. Their season is in its final stretch with just three games remaining.
Bech’s girlfriend, Kylie Young, has been a major support in his journey. She often shows up at his games, wearing customized merchandise to cheer him on. While Bech and the Raiders are struggling, Young was seen recently enjoying some time off from all the noise.
She posted a picture on her Instagram story, wearing a brown bikini while posing in front of a mirror.
The Raiders finished their last season with a 4-13 record, second-worst in the entire league. In 2025-26, they are on track to put up an even worse season record. They’ve already lost 12 games with just two wins and are tied for the worst record in the entire league.
Now, they have the role of a disruptor, a team that can’t do anything to change their season’s fate, but is still capable of destroying others’ hopes. It isn’t going to be an easy task, especially in their upcoming matchup against the Texans, a team on a six-game winning streak.
While the season continues to get worse for the Raiders, Bech is finally getting more play time since the stakes aren’t high. The second-round pick hasn’t had a great run, but there have been times when he has shown flashes of brilliance.
In the game against the Broncos, which the Raiders ended up losing 17-24, Bech led the team in targets, receptions, and yards. Despite the loss, the team saw the potential he has, and with enough experience and practice, they can turn him into an asset.
The Raiders’ offense is in desperate need of a young star who can take charge whenever needed. The upcoming offseason will be very crucial for Bech and the Raiders because if he works on his game, he can set himself and the franchise up for better days ahead.
Jack Bech on the Difference Between College Football and the NFL
Bech played for two programs, the LSU Tigers and the TCU Horned Frogs, in his collegiate career from 2021 to 2024. In his final year, he made the Second-team All-Big 12. The wide receiver declared for the draft and was picked by the Raiders in the second round.
During a Q&A session for the ‘Raiders Mailbag,’ Bech was asked, “What’s been the biggest difference from college football to being in the NFL?” The rookie gave a very good answer to that question.
“You take the best players on the college field and that’s everyone on the NFL field. So just the mental standpoint, the physical standpoint. Everybody’s big, strong, fast but everybody’s smart, and I feel like that’s the biggest difference,” he responded.
Many players who spend years in college football, developing their skills for the big league, often find it difficult to adjust. Even the players who were incredible in college don’t immediately transition well into the NFL.
