In recent years, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has done a decent job of catching up on inducting former Raiders as the likes of Ken Stabler, Ray Guy, Tim Brown — and now, Tom Flores have been voted in — years after they should have made it.
However, the Hall of Fame’s Raiders’ catch-up work is not done.
Next up would be the great Cliff Branch, with quarterback Jim Plunkett also being a worthy candidate.
Branch, who died in 2019 at the age of 71, was a special wide receiver for the Raiders spanning 1972 to 1986.
