We hit 24 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
We've reached 24 days until the Raiders season opener at Foxboro against the Patriots, With our countdown at 24 days we take a look at who currently dons the number in Silver & Black and who has brought it the most distinction. No. 24 Who's wearing it now: No one Marcus Peters was the last to wear it in 2023, which was his final season in the NFL. Who wore it best: CB Willie Brown Brown joined the Raiders in 1967 having already gone to two Pro Bowls. He had seven interceptions that season and the Raiders made their first Super Bowl. And Brown made his third Pro Bowl to begin a string of seven straight Pro Bowls, four times named an All Pro. In 1976, the Raiders would go back to the Super Bowl. This time they would win it. And in epic style, with 'Old Man Willie' intercepting a Fran Tarkenton pass and returning it 75 yards for the score. In his 12 years in a Raider uniform, Willie had 39 interceptions in the regular season and seven more in the playoffs. He was a no-brainer first ballot Hall of Famer. Honorable Mention: DB Charles Woodson Only in a world where someone like Willie Brown wore the same number would Woodson take a backseat to anyone. And, quite honestly, had he not spent seven years in Green Bay in the middle of his career, he'd take the top spot here. Woodson was the Raiders pick at number four overall in the 1998 NFL Draft as the only ever primarily defensive player to win the Heisman. He didn't miss a beat, winning AP Defensive Rookie of the Year and starting his career with four straight Pro Bowls. Then he would six seasons without making the Pro Bowl, including two in Green Bay. It was with the Packers that Woodson would reach his greatest heights, including getting a Super Bowl ring and winning NFL Defensive Player of the Year. In 2013, at the age of 37, he would rejoin the Raiders this time as a safety and play his final three seasons in Oakland, making the Pro Bowl in his final season and riding off into the sunset on his terms. A truly legendary career.

NFL teams will again stencil messages in the end zone
The NFL is continuing its on-field social justice messaging for a sixth straight season. All 32 teams will feature an end zone message of their choice at each home game throughout the season, selecting from four options: 'End Racism,' 'Stop Hate,' 'Choose Love,' or 'Inspire Change.' Once again, 'It Takes All of Us' will be stenciled in the opposite end zone for all games. The only change from 2024 is that 'Inspire Change' replaces 'Vote.' These messages will complement the league's other cause campaigns such as Salute to Service and Crucial Catch, which will also appear in end zones during select weeks this season. 'We're working hand-in-hand with players, and alongside our clubs, to amplify player voices and underscore what is most important to them,' Anna Isaacson, the NFL's senior vice president of social responsibility, told The Associated Press. 'For decades, the NFL and its players have been a unifying force in American culture and society that brings people of all cultures and backgrounds together to enjoy America's most popular sport. 'This is an honor and responsibility that the league takes seriously, which is why we actively invest in off-field programs and on-field initiatives that promote unity.' The league will use 'End Racism' along with 'It Takes All of Us' in the back of end zones for all international games for the second straight season. The reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will feature 'Choose Love' for their season opener against the Dallas Cowboys that kicks off the NFL schedule on Sept. 4. They will rotate all four league-approved end zone messages throughout the season. 'Choose Love' was first introduced in 2022 and has been embraced by the Bills following a shooting that killed 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket. 'Choose Love continues to resonate across the league,' Isaacson said. 'It has become a unifying message of healing and hope, one that many players continue to wear voluntarily on helmet decals.' Players will again have the option to display one of the five messages on their helmets this season. Since 2017, the NFL has provided more than $460 million to dozens of grant partners and hundreds of grassroots organizations through its Inspire Change initiative, helping benefit communities in need. Inspire Change has supported more than 650 nonprofits and 2,100 players and alumni, matching grants focused on mentorship, workforce development, and food insecurity. ___
