Jon Gruden’s Son Deuce Staying on with The Raiders

Jon Gruden’s son Deuce is staying on in Raiders nation. Awkward.

Deuce Gruden is currently in his fourth season with the Silver and Black as a strength and conditioning assistant. Prior to joining the Raiders, Gruden served as a strength and conditioning assistant with Washington for two seasons. According to reports, Deuce will stay on in his current role with the Las Vegas Raiders.

See Adam Schefter’s report below:

Even with his father resigning tonight as the Raiders’ head coach, Deuce Gruden remains the team’s strength and conditioning assistant coach.

Deuce was a competitive powerlifter who won gold at the 2017 International Powerlifting Federation’s World Classic Powerlifting Championships, so he’s obviously more than well qualified to be the strength and conditioning coach. Still will probably be a little bit awkward for Deuce to stick around.

We know his Dad probably won’t be getting an NFL job anytime soon.
