Training camp report day is just a couple days away now. And 47 days from the Raiders season opener. Another day, another number. Today, number 47 and a classic Raiders reclamation project.
Who wore it best: RB Tyrone Wheatley
This former first round pick was given up for dead by the New York Giants. The Raiders dusted him off and made him their ground and pound back in Jon Gruden's offense. The Raiders had a resurgence of their own during Wheatley's time in Oakland. He ran for over 1000 yards in 2000 to help the Raiders reach the AFC Championship game.
