What They're Saying about the Raiders at the 2026 Combine

On Head Coach Klint Kubiak:

"He's incredibly humble, really smart, very organized. Obviously a hell of a playcaller." – Seahawks General Manager John Schneider

"Klint obviously knows this business better than most 39 year olds do having grown up around it with his father and his brothers are both working in the world of football as well. ... He knows how difficult it can be on a personal level." – Field Yates, ESPN

On the Raiders' coaching staff:

"This feels to me like Klint got the guys he wanted. [Offensive coordinator] Andrew Janocko is not a household name. Really, really good. Has been at Klint's side for several different spots – New Orleans, Seattle, now Vegas. That was the guy he wanted as offensive coordinator. There's just a lot of really good voices who joined him." – Ian Rapoport, NFL Network

"Robbie Leonard is a friend of mine and he's going to do a phenomenal job. He's a great football coach. I know his vision will come to life for sure." – Seahawks Head Coach Mike McDonald

"I'm a big believer that when you start taking people that were involved with championship programs, highly successful programs, organizations, you bring them somewhere else, they understand the codes, right? They're the cheat codes. That's a great blessing for the Raiders organization." – Jeffri Chadiha, NFL Network

"I think a lot of Mike McCoy. I think he's the perfect guy to be your assistant head coach. ... He is a guy that – ton of respect for, really understands the game. Has a great demeanor of being the same guy day in and day out. He's been around a lot of different situations throughout his career. He's the perfect guy for a Klint Kubiak to lean on." – Chris Simms, NBC Sports

On DE Maxx Crosby:

"He is a great player. Not a good player, a great player. And a lot of times, to win, it helps to have those kind of players." – Ian Rapoport, NFL Network

On the future of the Raiders roster:

"As much as we're talking about these prospects and players, I think it's really important that the Raiders establish who they are and who deserves to wear the silver and black. If you get the right people, all of that other stuff will happen. I think with Spytek, with Kubiak and those guys coming together trying to make sure they're on the same page in terms of the right people, ultimately you'll get the right players at the right positions and have a lot of success." – Bucky Brooks, NFL Network

"Being able to have so much control over the entire draft, that gives you the ability to look at everything. You've got $91 million in cap space, there you go. You've got all of these different ways to make the best team possible and I think that that's what it's all about. What is the new definition of a Raider? How do you find as many of those guys as possible and get them all paid or drafted accordingly." – Cynthia Frelund, NFL Network
