The Oakland Raiders are right in the middle of a very important training camp, as they look to get this franchise moving back in the right direction. However, on Saturday, the team got the worst news possible, as legendary wide receiver Cliff Branch passed away unexpectedly at age 71.
During his time in the NFL, Branch established himself as a Hall of Fame wide receiver, consistently dominating defensive backs. Playing his entire career with the Silver and Black, Branch was a member of three Super Bowl teams, and was named to the Pro Bowl in four consecutive seasons from 1974 through 1977.
