ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Calling it "the formal unification of something that has been going on for a really long time," Mike Mayock said the timing was finally right as the longtime NFL Network draft analyst was introduced as the Oakland Raiders general manager on Monday.
Mayock also interviewed "10 or 12 years ago" with late Raiders owner Al Davis.
"I flew out here clandestinely to meet Mr. Al Davis and he took me into this building, and he hid me for eight hours and he grilled me on everything, as you know, and I came out of the building that day with my head spinning," Mayock said.
