After reviewing all of the Las Vegas Raiders' opponents for the 2022 season, we’re shifting gears and looking into the coaching staff for the Silver and Black.

We start by previewing the offensive staff of the Raiders.

Running Backs Coach Kennedy Polamalu

The 2022 season marks running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu's first season joining the Silver and Black. Polamalu brings an impressive 31 years of coaching experience to Las Vegas.

For the last five seasons, Polamalu served as running backs coach with the Minnesota Vikings, helping running back Dalvin Cook become a three-time Pro Bowler.

During the 2021 season, Polamalu led a running corps that amassed a total of 1,930 rushing yards, averaging 4.3 yards per carry.

The Vikings also scored 10 rushing touchdowns during the 2021 season.

Before his stint with the Vikings, Polamalu served in the same role from 2005 to 2009 with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He initially joined the NFL via a running back coaching job with the Clevland Browns.

Polamalu also has 18 years of coaching experience at the college level with UCLA, USC, San Diego State, and Colorado.

The Raiders' running corps, which features running backs Josh Jacobs, Brandon Bolden, and Kenyan Drake, will benefit from the decades of experience Polamalu brings to the Silver and Black.
