Getsy Talks About Tight End Mayer

The Las Vegas Raider's new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy had the opportunity to share his thoughts on tight end Michael Mayer.

On Friday, the new offensive Las Vegas Raiders coordinator, Luke Getsy, had his first press conference with the team.

Getsy shared his thoughts on many Raider, including how he will evaluate the offense this offseason.

One of the players Getsy had the chance to talk about was tight end Michael Mayer. 

Getsy has experience working with young tight ends and using them in his offense. While being the Chicago Bears' offensive coordinator for two seasons, Getsy had the chance to work with young tight end Cole Kmet.

In his fourth season with the Bears, Kemet finished with 73 receptions for 719 yards and six touchdowns in 17 games.

Getsy had the opportunity to express his impressions of Mayer and sees comparisons between him and Kmet at the tight end position.

"I think the cool thing about him is that he is slightly like Cole," Getsy said. "He's a cool blend at tight end, he can do a little bit of everything right. Any time you are evaluating players, you're trying to see how diverse they can be, and the flexibility for a player just allows you to be more dynamic as an offense, and I think that's what's exciting about working with Michael."

The 2023 NFL second-round draft pick from Notre Dame, Mayer finished his rookie season with 27 catches for 304 yards and two touchdowns.

It will be fascinating to see how Getsy will use Mayer in the Raiders' offense and see him develop as a second-year tight end.

From February 27 to March 4, 2024, the NFL Scouting Combine will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind.

The NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 25-27, 2024. The Las Vegas Raiders currently hold the No. 13 overall pick.
