The Las Vegas Raiders are looking to turn the franchise around next season. The Raiders have made multiple moves so far this offseason to show that they are serious about finding stability for the team.
One key move the Raiders have made was to bring in former NFL head coach Chip Kelly to be their new offensive coordinator. Kelly is a well-known coach and is a veteran offensive play caller.
Kelly is returning to the National Football League after winning the College National Championship with Ohio State.
As Ohio State's offensive coordinator, Kelly led the team's offense back to being a powerhouse and dominating college football. His successful college season last year led him back to the NFL.
This week at the NFL Scouting Combine, one of Kelly's former players at Ohio State says he would love to reunite with him on the Raiders.
"I keep hearing stories about a lot of these guys getting crazy questions, I have not got many like that," said Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka.
"I have gotten some good questions. But I think some of my favorite questions were, I was in a meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders and obviously my offensive coordinator Chip Kelly was there. They were just asking me about him and stuff like that."
"That was pretty funny for me. We have some good stuff and shared some laughs for sure."
"I was drawing a play up on the board and I think you know the coaching staff was impressed for however I draw it or describe it or whatever the case might be. They were asking Chip like did you teach him all that? Chip was like No, he taught me everything. That was pretty funny. I would love to play for him again."
"Ultimately the recommendations on Chip's offensive mind came back in such a way that they felt like this was the move to make," said ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
"And look they were at a disadvantage in that division with those coaches and those quarterbacks in the AFC West, it is loaded. Pete comes in with energy and passion ... So they need someone to really run that offense and Chip Kelly is certainly more than capable of doing that."
