We hit 74 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
We've reached 74 days until the Raiders season opener at Foxboro against the Patriots, With our countdown at 74 days we take a look at who currently dons the number in Silver & Black and who has brought it the most distinction.
No. 74
Who's wearing it now: LT Kolton Miller
The former first round pick has been the Raiders full time starting left tackle for the past seven seasons. While he has never made a Pro Bowl, he has been a stalwart presence at the most premium position on the offensive line and one of the most important positions on any team. He is currently one of just four players still on the team from their Oakland days and one of two who is still due for an extension.
Who wore it best: DT Tom Keating
Keating joined the Raiders in 1966 and immediately made the Pro Bowl. The next season he was named a first team All Pro and the Raiders won the AFL Championship to face the Packers in Super Bowl II. After missing the 1968 season with a leg injury, he returned to put up a career-high 12 sacks and was once again a second-team All Pro. He spent a total of seven years with the Raiders, missing one season to injury, and a total of 11 seasons in the NFL.
