Davante Adams And Michael Mayer Should Benefit From Luke Getsy As Raiders OC, In Theory At Least

When looking at Davante Adams and his history with Luke Getsy, the Las Vegas Raiders star wideout should benefit tremendously, along with upstart Michael Mayer.

It’s been an interesting few days for the Raiders, just in case you haven’t been following. Kliff Kingsbury was once considered the next offensive coordinator in Las Vegas. Well, as it turns out, none of that came to fruition. Despite social media getting ahead of itself, Kingsbury reportedly walked away from the deal, leaving the Raiders to scramble. As a result, Getsy appears to be in line for the same gig. Keep in mind that nothing official has surfaced from the team as of this publication.

What do we make of the Raiders hiring Luke Getsy?

Well, if Getsy is indeed the man for the job, a couple of playmakers on offense could see tremendous benefit from their new coordinator. First off, we have Davante Adams.

No. 17 had some of his best years in Green Bay under the guise of Getsy. Prior to breaking out for 1,386 receiving yards in 2018, Adams made his first Pro Bowl the season prior (2017), when Getsy was his positional coach. Getsy then returned to the Packers in 2019 as the passing game coordinator and quarterback’s coach. While many point to Getsy’s failure the last two years with the Chicago Bears, it’s hard to ignore his time with Adams.
