In recent years the NFL has used the NFL Honors show as the lead-up to the Super Bowl. That show opens with the announcement of the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2019. That’s the best chance a Raiders player will have of getting his name called.
Tom Flores is a Hall of Fame finalist for the first time in his 25 years of eligibility, making it the closest the 2-time Super Bowl winning head coach has gotten to enshrinement. Former Raiders defensive tackle Richard Seymour is also among the finalists.
