The CeeDee Lamb/Jerry Jeudy debate – which wide receiver would be picked first in the NFL Draft – was settled by the Las Vegas Raiders. And the answer was Henry Ruggs III.
We should have known. You can take the Raiders out of Oakland. You can take Al Davis out of Planet Earth. But you can’t take Al Davis out of the Raiders.
Davis was the Raiders’ patriarch. Their head coach from 1963 to 1965, their part owner from 1966 to 1971 and their principal owner/general manager from 1972 until his death in 2011.
Davis loved speed.
