Raiders Countdown to Kickoff: 88: Who wore it best, who's wearing it now

We keep counting down and moving through the 80s. No, I'm not talking about Spandau Ballet or John Cougar Mellencamp, I'm talking about Raiders jersey numbers and marking the days until the 2015 season opener. Specifically, number 88. Though the best to ever wear that number for the Raiders finished his career in the early 80s.

Who wore it best: TE Raymond Chester (1970-72, 78-81)

It's fitting we talk about early 80s hits and mention Raymond Chester. He was originally a first round draft pick by the Raiders in 1970, was sent to Baltimore in trade, and later came back.
