We continue our countdown with Raiders No. 93: Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
With 93 days until the Raiders season opener, we take a look at who is wearing it during the Raiders offseason workouts and whose legacy lies in that number.
No. 93
Who's wearing it now: DT Zach Carter
The former third round pick was signed by the Raiders midway through last season and would appear in eight games putting up 13 tackles and one sack. He now enters his fourth NFL season and second with the Raiders.
Who wore it best: DE Greg Townsend
Townsend stands tall as the Raiders franchise record-holder with 107.5 sacks. Townsend spent 12 of his 13 NFL seasons with the Raiders The first nine of those seasons, he averaged over 10 sacks per season and made two Pro Bowls. And that doesn't even include his 4.5 sacks in the playoffs as a rookie in 1983, helping the Raiders reach and win the Super Bowl.
Honorable mention: DT Tommy Kelly
Kelly went undrafted in 2004. He would become a fulltime starter in his second season and ended up spending nine years with the Raiders. Along with being a great player, he was a favorite teammate as well. Just a genuinely hilarious dude.
