The story of Davante Adams coming to the Raiders has often surrounded his reunion with his college QB Derek Carr. The two of them came up together, putting up some monster numbers at Fresno State to put both of them squarely on the NFL radar.
But there’s another reunion in Las Vegas for Adams with a man he credits with helping make him into the All-Pro receiver he is today.
When Adams entered the NFL in 2014, his wide receivers coach was Edgar Bennett. The next season Bennett was promoted to offensive coordinator, a position he held for three seasons from 2015-17. After that, Bennett was let go along with Mike McCarthy’s entire staff, and Bennett joined Jon Gruden’s new staff in Las Vegas, returning to his previous role as wide receiver coach.
