Last season, WR Jakobi Meyers set a career high in receptions (87) and posted his first 1,000-yard receiving season (1,027) to rank 10th in the AFC in receiving yards. Meyers became the 11th undrafted player in NFL history to record 1,000 receiving yards in a single season and the first to do so since 2020. Second-year WR Tre Tucker set career highs in receptions (47), receiving yards (539) and touchdown receptions (three), ranking third on the team in each category.

In 2023, Bennett coached WR Davante Adams to his fourth consecutive season with 100-plus catches (103) and 1,000-plus receiving yards (1,144). He also saw Meyers post a career-high eight receiving touchdowns, while adding 71 receptions and 807 yards.

In 2022, Bennett coached WR Davante Adams to his sixth consecutive Pro Bowl selection. In his first season with the Raiders, Adams set a franchise record with 1,526 receiving yards on 100 receptions, while his 14 receiving touchdowns were the most in the NFL and tied for second-most in a single season in franchise history. Bennett also coached WR Mack Hollins to career highs with 57 receptions, 690 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

Under Bennett's guidance in 2021, WR Hunter Renfrow put together one of the greatest seasons in franchise history by a Raiders wide receiver to earn his first Pro Bowl selection. Renfrow set career-highs in receptions (103) and receiving yards (1,039), becoming the first Raiders wide receiver to surpass 1,000-plus receiving yards since 2016.

In 2020, Bennett's wide receivers recorded an NFL-best average of 15.2 yards per reception. It marked the highest average yards per reception by a Raiders wide receiving corps since 2004. WR Nelson Agholor posted 48 receptions for a career-high 896 receiving yards while tying a career high with eight touchdown receptions. His 18.7 yards per reception marked a career high and were first in the AFC and second in the NFL.

In 2019, Bennett developed a rookie Renfrow to produce 49 receptions for 605 yards and four touchdowns, marks that ranked second, sixth and tied for fourth, respectively, in franchise history among rookies.

In Bennett's first season with the Raiders in 2018, he oversaw a group led by WR Jordy Nelson, who finished second on the team in both yards (739) and touchdown receptions (three), while finishing third in receptions (63).

Bennett spent the previous 17 seasons (2001-17) with Green Bay in multiple roles, serving as the team's offensive coordinator from 2015-17, wide receivers coach from 2011-14, running backs coach from 2005-10 and as the team's director of player development from 2001-04. Bennett also spent five seasons playing running back for the Packers. As a player and coach, Bennett won 11 division titles, appeared in six conference championships and won both Super Bowl XXXI in 1996 and XLV in 2010.

During his three-year tenure as the offensive coordinator, Bennett helped orchestrate an offense that finished with 96 touchdown passes, the most in the NFC and second most in the NFL during that time frame. In 2017, Bennett's offense ranked fifth in the NFL in yards per rush (4.47) and tied for sixth in the NFC with 25 touchdown passes on the season. Guided by Bennett in 2016, QB Aaron Rodgers put together one of the best passing seasons in team history, throwing for 4,428 yards, completing over 400 passes for a completion percentage of 65.7, while adding an NFL-high 40 touchdowns through the air to just seven interceptions. As a first-time coordinator in 2015, Bennett's offense's 17 turnovers were the fifth fewest in club history and fourth fewest in the NFL that year. Green Bay rostered four wide receivers that notched at least 50 receptions in the same season, just the third time the feat had been accomplished since 1940.

From 2011-14, Bennett's receiving corps featuring wide receivers Randall Cobb, James Jones and Nelson made the Packers one of just three teams to roster three receivers with at least 20 receiving scores each during that span. The three combined for 92 receiving touchdowns. Nelson accounted for 43, fourth-most in the NFL, and finished sixth in the league with 4,841 receiving yards in that time span.

Prior to his move to wide receivers, Bennett served six years as a running backs coach for the Packers from 2005-10. In his six years, Bennett coached running backs to 1,000-yard seasons three different times. Before going into coaching, he spent four years in the Packers front office, serving as the team's director of player development from 2001-04.

A native of Jacksonville, Fla., Bennett played eight seasons in the NFL at running back for the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears after being selected by Green Bay in the fourth round of the 1992 NFL Draft. He played in 112 games (77 starts) and tallied 3,992 yards and 21 touchdowns on 1,115 carries and added 284 receptions for 2,245 yards and 10 receiving touchdowns. He won Super Bowl XXXI with the Packers as a player and was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame in 2005.

Bennett played collegiately at Florida State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in social science and was inaugurated into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005. He has a son, Edgar IV, and a daughter, Elyse Morgan.
