Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer is ready for whatever the assignment is to help this Raiders offense be successful.
They addressed the offense issues by hiring Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy, who spent the last two seasons with the Chicago Bears. Then, in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Raiders shocked many by selecting tight end Brock Bowers with the 13th pick of the first round.
It was not a shock in regards to Bowers' talent, as he was viewed by many as the best overall skilled player. It shocked many because the Raiders had taken tight end Michael Mayer in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Raiders now have arguably the best duo at the tight end position in the entire league. They both bring skills sets that the Raiders need and want in Getsy's offense.
Mayer showed last year what he could do at the tight end position at the NFL level. He had 27 receptions for 304 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games for the Silver and Black before his rookie campaign was cut short late due to injury. Mayer is also a solid blocker in the run game."That is the thing with this offense, is the pass and the run complement each other very well in this offense," Mayer. "You could hit some big time runs for chunks.
