HENDERSON, Nev. -- Jim Otto, a Pro Football Hall of Fame center whose iconic No. 00 jersey anchored the middle of the Oakland Raiders' offensive line for 15 seasons, has died at age 86.
The Raiders, who moved from Oakland to Las Vegas in 2020, announced his death Sunday night, calling him "The Original Raider." The cause of death was not immediately known.
Otto was the dominant center of his era -- many would argue of any era -- as he had a singular goal: "Never will they kick my butt."
Indeed, Otto did most of the kicking in a 15-year career that never saw him miss a game.
