Countdown to 2020: Best Raiders player to wear No. 81 all-time

With the season a few months away, we take a look at the best player to wear the jersey number of the number of days left before the opener on September 13, 2020 against the Carolina Panthers. That game will kick off the new era of Raiders football.

We continue our series with No. 81.

We all know who the honoree is for this honor but there is a little known player that was making a good case for himself before legal troubles ended his career prematurely. Warren Wells was originally drafted by the Detroit Lions in 1964 and played there for one season before being drafted in to the military.
