After spending the past four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, Taylor Mays is now back on the West Coast, a place the veteran safety has long held dear.
After growing up in Seattle, Wash., and attending the University of Southern California, Mays was selected in the second round (No. 49 overall) by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2010 NFL Draft.
However, Mays spent just one season in the Bay Area before heading east to Cincinnati, but now he’s back in the familiar confines of the West Coast.
“The area of the country makes it more familiar,” Mays said when asked about joining the Raiders.
