After remaining relatively quiet over the course of the offseason following the draft, Michael Mayer is beginning to make some noise in Raiders camp.
The second-round tight end could realistically find himself in the starting role for Las Vegas come Week 1, assuming he can beat out the likes of Austin Hooper and continue to make an impression on Jimmy Garoppolo.
It’s worth noting that Mayer was renowned for his complete skillset coming out of Notre Dame, and there’s a chance that he finds his way onto the field via run blocking before he makes his way as a pass catcher in an offense that already features Davante Adams, Josh Jacobs, and Jakobi Meyers.
