Who wore it best and who's wearing it now We've reached 84 days until the Raiders season opener at Foxboro against the Patriots, With our countdown at 84 days we take a look at who currently dons the number in Silver & Black and who has brought it the most distinction. No. 84 Who's wearing it now: TE Qadir Ismail Ismail was signed this offseason. Receiving is in his blood as his father is former NFL wide receiver Qadry Ismail and his uncle is former Raiders WR/KR Raghib "Rocket" Ismail. Along with his hands being in his bloodlines, he stands at a towering 6-6. He showed up well in minicamp and could either sneak onto the roster or earn a spot on the practice squad. Who wore it best: WR Art Powell Back when reaching 1000 yards was a very big deal, Powell was flying by that mark every season. He played DB as a rookie in 1959. Upon switching to receiver, Powell immediately was named a first team All Pro. All told, he spent 10 years in the NFL, joining the Raiders in 1963. In his four years in Oakland, he made the Pro Bowl every season, had double digit touchdowns every season, went over 1000 yards three of them and over 1300 yards 14 games per season.

Jets' Aaron Glenn Turns Back Clock In Describing Top Leader
Jets' Aaron Glenn Turns Back Clock In Describing Top Leader originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. --Pop quiz! Where did Hall-of-Fame safety Ronnie Lott finish his career? If you guessed the New York Jets, congratulations! You are correct! Advertisement After a 10-year run with the San Francisco 49ers that resulted in four Super Bowl titles and a legacy as one of the best secondaries in the game, Lott continued playing for four more seasons. Two years with the Los Angeles Raiders were quickly followed by a final two with the Jets. During that time, the Hall-of-Fame safety played a single season with a young cornerback out of Texas A&M. Aaron Glenn. 30 years later, Glenn is the Jets' head coach. He's been tasked with building a culture that can turn the franchise's misfortune around. The first step in that process is finding the leaders on the roster. Advertisement During the final day of minicamp, Glenn made it clear that he would measure most of his current leaders against that of Lott when he first began playing. "Oh, that was easy," Glenn said. "I mean (Ronnie) Lott was a guy that, I mean, not being with him and seeing how he operated and then getting a chance to have a locker right next to him and seeing how he operated." Lott's leadership has always been legendary for the 49ers. While the organization will always be known for its offense during those dynastic days, Lott's legacy in the secondary helped them reach those Super Bowl wins. There are many quality leaders on this Jets team, which is why they have bought into Glenn's system before playing a game or putting pads on. Advertisement They may not measure up to Lott right now, but they are clearly building the kind of culture that Glenn saw from the Hall-of-Famer all those years ago.
