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 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 (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 (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 (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 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 (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 . 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 (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. Hendricks retired with eight appearances and a possible induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.10. S Jack Tatum (1971-79)16/ 25 Known as the Assassin, Jack Tatum was one of the most physical refuges not only in Raiders history but also in NFL history. In his nine seasons in silver and black, Tatum threw 30 interceptions, including six in 1977. Tatum played at a time when tackle stats were not held, but once again his last impression was more physicality than numbers. Jack Tatum was part of the Super Bowl XI Championship team and is both one of the most recognizable names in Raiders history and one of the greatest players.9. CB Willie Brown (1967-78)17/25Willie Brown is one of two of the most iconic players in Raiders history and another member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Most often remembered for his Super Bowl XI return on the way to winning the Raiders, Brown is easily one of the best corner kicks of his era. His 39 career interceptions in a Raiders uniform have tied him with lester Hayes, and that number is unlikely to be touched anytime soon.8. QB (1979-86)18/ 25Jim Plunkett is one of several Raiders players still waiting their turn to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame. If it hasn't come now, it may not come, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't. Jim Plunkett led the Raiders to two Super Bowl titles, and despite a fairly short tenure compared to some other quarterbacks, he's fourth on the clerk's all-time passing list with 12,665 yards. Plunkett's success represents everything the Raiders were in the 1970s and 80s as a team known to give talented but fallen players a second chance. Jim Plunkett is one of the Raiders' most important players in franchise history.7. DE (1981- 93)19/25Howie Long goes down as the best defensive lineman Raiders history, and it's not that close. In his 13-year career, all with silver and black, Long received an official 84 sacks. The number would have been higher, but the skids didn't become an official NFL statistic until after his rookie season. In addition to his pitching rush, Long's physicality allowed him to be one of the best defensive end players in NFL history, and his naming to the 1980s all-decade team speaks for it. Long was a member of the Raiders' Super Bowl XVIII Championship team, selected to eight Pro Bowls and inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000.6. RB 's (1982- 1992)20 25Marcus Allen's Raiders career may have ended in an unwanted manner, including finishing with the rival , but that shouldn't take anything away from how big he was in silver and black. In 11 seasons with the Raiders, albeit with some minimal playing time, Allen rushed for 8,545 yards and 79 touchdowns. In his best season in 1985, Allen ran for a convincing 1,759 yards and 11 touchdowns. Like several other players and employees in franchise history, the controversies with Al Davis were their downfall. In the case of Marcus Allen, although his stats took some hits in the long run, he still goes down as one of the Raiders' all-time greats nonetheless and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2003.5. QB Ken Stabler (1970-79)21/25 THE NFL is a quarterback-driven league, and that has long been the case. Thus, it only makes sense for The Raiders' all-time leading passer Ken Stabler to be this high on the roster. Stabler ended his 10-year-old Raiders career with 19,078 yards and 150 touchdowns, including a victory over the Minnesota Vikings in a Super Bowl XI. Ken Stabler was first and foremost a winner. The Raiders' starting quarterback held the record to 69-26-1 and was a huge part of their success throughout the 1970s.4. C Jim Otto (1960-74)22/25Jim Otto is another of the Raiders' most recognizable players despite the fact that his career began well into the era before super bowl time. Otto, who joined the Raiders in 1960, did not miss a single game as his starting center for 15 consecutive seasons. This total was good at 210 regular-season starts and 308 overall. Not only did he make those beginnings, he did it at his highest quality. Otto was selected to the AFL All-Star Game in each of his nine seasons there and was selected to the first three Pro Bowls when they were implemented thereafter. Oto's 00 is always a sign of consistency and tenacity in Raiders history.3. WR Tim Brown (1988-03)23/25Thaly the process has become quite messy for a wide receiver spot, it's only a matter of time before Tim Brown becomes a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Brown finished his. holds many league and franchise receiving records, the most impressive of which come in the form of consecutive seasons or games with a statistical achievement. These showed how great Brown was over a long period of time. Even more interesting, as many have long pointed out, is to consider what Brown could have been with a better quarterback game during his time with the Raiders. Rich Gannon's best quarterback game didn't come until his later years, but he still became one of the most prolific receivers in NFL history.2. LT (1968-82)24/ 25 in the third round of the Raiders' 1968 NFL Draft, Art Shell continued his career of being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989. Shell helped shape the dominant left-hander on the offensive line with Gene Upshaw at left guard, which would lead to raiders success for a while. Art Shell was part of two Super Bowl Championship teams in his 15 career with the Raiders and was also selected to eight Pro Bowls.1. LG Gene Upshaw (1967-81)25 25Gene Upshaw signs on as the greatest Raiders player of all time for a variety of reasons. After winning the starting left guard job as a rookie in training camp, he started 207 straight games for the Raiders, establishing himself as a sign of consistency up front. With Art Shell by his side in the tackle, Upshaw helped form a dominant left side on the offensive line for some time and was rewarded year after year for his apparent success. Upshaw helped lead the way to two of the Raiders' three Super Bowl wins, and was the first full- time guard in the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he was inducted in 1987.Follow @danwilkins29 @danwilkins29
