We reach 71 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
We've reached 71 days until the Raiders season opener at Foxboro against the Patriots, With our countdown at 71 days we take a look at who currently dons the number in Silver & Black and who has brought it the most distinction.
No. 71
Who's wearing it now: T DJ Glaze
Glaze was the Raiders' pick in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Maryland. He took over at right tackle for Thayer Munford due to injury and never looked back. Even with a new staff, Glaze remains in line to be the team's starting right tackle going into this season.
Who wore it best: DT Bill Pickel
The second round pick (54 overall) in the 1983 NFL Draft spent the first eight years of his career with the Raiders. The team won the Super Bowl in his first season with the team. Then he settled in as a constant presence on the defensive interior for the next seven years. This includes a run of three consecutive seasons with double digit sacks from 1984-86 culminating in being named a first team All Pro.
