We hit 77 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
We've reached 77 days until the Raiders season opener at Foxboro against the Patriots, With our countdown at 77 days we take a look at who currently dons the number in Silver & Black and who has brought it the most distinction. No. 77 Who's wearing it now: T Thayer Munford Munford was the final pick for the Raiders in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He was considered a mid-round level talent going into the draft, so getting the standout Ohio State product at pick 238 was considered a good get. Coming into last season, he was given every opportunity to be the team's starting right tackle, but couldn't hold onto it. He got injured in camp as well as the season and was outplayed by rookie third round pick DJ Glaze. These days the team is trying Munford at guard to see if he can carve out and NFL career there. Who wore it best: DE Ike Lassiter Lassiter came to the Raiders in 1965 after three years in Denver. Each of his five years with the Raiders, he put up double digit sacks including the Raiders 1967 AFL Championship season in which they faced the Packers in Super Bowl II. That season, Lassiter was a holy terror off the edge, putting up 17 sacks and heading to the Pro Bowl and named a second-team All Pro. Two seasons later, he put up 15 sacks and was once again a second team All Pro. In total he had 61.5 sacks in five seasons. If sacks had been an official stat at that time, that would be good for third in Raiders franchise history. Honorable Mention: DE Lyle Alzado Alzado spent the final four seasons of his 15-year NFL career with the Raiders. He joined the team at the age of 33 and in his second season, he was a big part of the Raiders third Super Bowl win.
