As a connoisseur of NFL Films for as long as I can remember, I loved anything and everything they did on the 1970s Oakland Raiders. Both sides of the ball were populated with Hall of Famers, but one guy that wasn’t a Hall of Famer was the offense’s most lethal weapon. Cliff Branch (#21) was as fast as anyone in the NFL at the time. He averaged 17.3 yards per catch in his career and his best season was in 1976 when he averaged a whopping 24.2 yards per catch. That’s an astonishing number. Each and every game in Oakland-Alameda Coliseum, a sign hung in the end zone.
