The Tampa Bay Buccaneers today announced the additions of David Raih (rye) as offensive analyst and Jordan Somerville as assistant quarterbacks coach.

Raih brings 14 years of collegiate and professional experience to Tampa Bay after most recently serving as offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach at Vanderbilt in 2021. Previously, Raih spent seven years in the NFL as the wide receivers coach for the Arizona Cardinals (2019-20) and in a variety of roles for the Green Bay Packers (2014-18). 

Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins earned first team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in his lone season with Raih as his position coach in 2020. In addition, while Raih was Davante Adams’ position coach in Green Bay in 2018, Adams broke out for his first 100-catch and 1,000-yard receiving season.
