Former Las Vegas Raiders GM Mike Mayock made a relatively rare media appearance last week, joining former NFL DE Chris Long on his podcast Green Light with Chris Long to discuss his time with the Raiders, 2019 to 2021. It’s a terrific interview with Mayock sharing tons of stories from his days as GM. His relationship with Jon Gruden, his decision to shockingly take Clemson DE Cle Ferrell #4 overall in 2019, and the notable draft gems he found along the way.
Later in the interview, Mayock recalled the Raiders’ wild Week 18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in 2021, a game that nearly ended in a tie that would’ve eliminated the Pittsburgh Steelers from the playoffs.
