Organized team activities are in full swing in Alameda with the Raiders' rookie minicamp starting on Friday. With their drafted and undrafted rookies already on the field along with their veteran teammates, they were issued their numbers, which they hope they can wear from a good long time.
As is always the case with the Raiders, many of those numbers were once donned by a Silver and Black legend. Here are all the newly signed rookies and the great Raiders player whose name was once above it.
Karl Joseph (Round 1) - 42
Raider legends: Ronnie Lott, Eric Turner
Some thought the Raiders might give Joseph the number 24 with Charles Woodson retired.
