Oakland Raiders Bleacher Oakland raiders bleacher Continue 0/25 Oakland Raiders are certainly one of the first teams to come to mind when you consider both history and tradition in the NFL. Of course, there are many reasons for that, but the most important of them is surrounded by players who have donned silver and black over the years. The most important criteria in this list are production, length of term, stakes in championship teams and general heritage. Here are the top 25 players in Oakland Raiders history.25. P Shane Lechler (2000-12)1/25I's not very often that a player would make any of the team's top 25 players of all time, but on the other hand, the odds are sure to increase when that player is the best ever to play his position. Lechler leads the NFL in career yards per punt with a current average of 47.5 yards. Over the years, he has been the ultimate special teams weapon for the Raiders, continually rescuing a horrific offense for much of the last decade. In 13 years, Lechler was selected to seven Pro Bowls and was also named to the 21st Century All Decade team. Out of this season, he's no longer with the team, but he has just as good a chance of being the first player inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and earns more than a spot on this roster.24. RB Bo Jackson (1987-90)25Had Bo Jackson's football career was not completed early due to injury, he would undoubtedly have been much higher on this list. While playing only four seasons with a team wouldn't usually see a player make surgery on this roster, the incredible talent Jackson brings can't go unrecognizable. In Jackson, the Raiders had a run back with possibly the largest combination of size, power and speed ever, about 6-foot-221 pounds, and there were rumored to have long run 4.21 40-run. Bo Jackson established as one of the most dangerous and dominant offensive players in the league, and it could certainly have been one of the best players if he had stayed healthy.23. TE Dave Casper (1974-80, 84)3/25Dave Casper played in an era that didn't see nearly as much production being received from a tight end as it did today, but that didn't stop him. In eight seasons with the Raiders, Casper threw for 3,294 yards with 35 touchdowns, including 10 in 1976. Best known for his Ghost to the Post game in a playoff game against the Baltimore Colts, Casper is one of the most recognizable names in franchise history. He was a member of two Super Bowl Championship teams and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002.22. DE Greg Townsend (1983-93, 97)4/25 Although he played in an era where offenses were much more directed at the running game than they are today, Townsend establishes himself as a rather dominant passer. In his 12 seasons with the Raiders, Townsend made a total of 107.5 sacks, which is good for an all-time franchise lead by a wide margin. The most impressive part of Townsend's game was the consistency of his production. In his first seven seasons, he put in double-digit sack numbers and rarely missed a game along the way.21. LB Phil Villapiano (1971-79)5/25Phil Villapiano is one of the most famous Raiders linebackers, and with very good reason. Villapiano earned his way to four Pro Bowls in his nine seasons with silver and black and was part of the Raiders' Super Bowl XI Championship team. Villapiano was a key member of the Raiders defence, which was dominant throughout the 1970s, and deserves this place very much.20. TE Todd Christensen (1979-88)6/25 After slowly stiming a larger portion of the Raiders' offense in 1982, Todd Christensen established as the dominant pass-catching tight end in 1983. The 1983 season when the Raiders won the Super Bowl was one of three in his career that Christensen would pass the 1,000 receiving yards limit. Christensen can be considered one of the players of the era who helped advance the league-wide movement by using tight ends as pass catchers. He would finish his career with 5,872 yards receiving and 41 touchdowns and can be considered one of the great Raiders players.19. QB Rich Gannon (1999-04)7 of 25Raiders fans remembers Rich Gannon as the last quarterback to lead them to continued success. Although Gannon may not have had the longest term on the team, during the four seasons from 1999 to 2002 the production was as good as any. In that four seasons, plus two injury-shortened years after that, Gannon completed a total of 17,585 passing lanes and 114 touchdowns. Of course, he led the Raiders and the league's dominant offense to a Super Bowl appearance after his MVP season in 2002 as well. A longer season with the team and/or a Super Bowl win would have gotten Gannon much higher on this list, but there's no doubt he's among all-time Raiders greats anyway.18. WR Cliff Branch (1972-85)8 of 25Cliff Branch was a wide receiver who embodied everything the Raiders have known throughout their history. Branch is pretty easily the most productive vertical threat the Raiders have ever had, and he has the numbers to back it up. Over 14 career seasons, all with the Raiders, Branch made 8,685 receiving yards with 67 touchdowns and averaged 17.3 yards per reception. Branch was part of all three Raiders Super Bowl teams, went to four Pro Bowls and remains a decorated candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.17. S George Atkinson (1968-77)9/ 25George Atkinson is one of several Raiders defensive backs, was known for a long time physical game. While he is best known for some controversial hits, such as Lynn Swann of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Atkinson was also a very prolific player. In his nine seasons as a Raider, Atkinson intercepted 30 passes and tied him for fifth on the Raiders' all-time list. Today, he is still very much involved with the organization and works as one of the team's broadcasters.16. LB Rod Martin (1977-88)10/25Rod Martin will always be remembered for his downright dominant performance in the Raiders' Super Bowl XV win, halting Eagles QB Ron Jaworsk's record three times and deservedly so. Meanwhile, there was much more to his career as a Raiders, especially another solid performance three seasons later in Super Bowl XVIII en route to another Raiders victory. Martin played each of his 12 seasons in Raiders uniform, totaling 14 interceptions and returning four of them for touchdowns.15. WR Fred Biletnikoff (1965-78)11/25Ed to the Football Hall of Fame in 1988, Fred Biletnikoff goes down not only as one of the greatest Raiders receivers of all time, but simply as one of the best, periods. His career total of 589 receptions, 8,974 receiving yards and 76 touchdowns, including 10 consecutive seasons over 500 yards receiving, become even more impressive given the dominant era of running in which he played. Each of his 14 seasons as a player came with silver and black, where he won the Super Bowl, one Super Bowl MVP, and was selected to six Pro Bowls. While this list is based on a player's contribution during their playing career, Biletnikoff's 10 seasons of service as the team's wide receivers coach is notable because it only adds to his Raiders legacy.14. OG Steve Wisniewski (1989-01)12/25Playing 13 seasons for the Raiders, mostly in this tough decade for the franchise, Steve Wisniewski was a sign of consistency on the offensive line. Wisniewski was selected to eight Pro Bowls during his career and was one of the most dominant guards of the time. Not surprisingly, he was later also selected for the all-decade team of the 1990s. At the end of his playing career, Wisniewski maintained ties with the Raiders organization and even coached as an offensive line assistant in the 2011 season. CB Mike Haynes (1983-89)13/25Mike Haynes played only half of his 14-year career with the Raiders, but was very prolific as a shutdown cornerback with Lester Hayes. In his seven seasons with the team, Haynes threw 18 interceptions and was part of the Raiders' Super Bowl XVIII championship. Haynes was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997 and is right at the top of the league in the big corner kicks in Raiders history.12. CB Lester Hayes (1977-86)14/ 25Lester Hayes Possibly the most deserving Raiders candidate yet inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His 39 career interceptions have tied him with Willie Brown for all-time franchise lead, including 13 in the 1980 season. Soon after, the quarterbacks simply stopped looking in his direction. Hayes was part of two Super Bowl champion teams, and he was a huge part of the Raiders' success as a defense for many years and formulated with Mike Haynes one of the best corner kicks in league history.11. LB Ted Hendricks (1975-83)15 of 25Ted Hendricks, or better known as crazy store, is the most successful linebacker in Raiders history. Hendricks' career began, and he plays nine years in silver and black. He thrived on every part-night of the game, producing as a pass rusher, run-stopper and coverage linebacker.
