3. Fred Biletnikoff, Super Bowl XI

One of the more legendary wide receivers in the history of football, Fred Biletnikoff stood tall in one of the better wins in Raiders history. In the  team’s first Super Bowl victory, Biletnikoff was the man in the middle of every important drive, and while he does not jump off the stat sheet, he was the most valuable Raider on that day.

Biletnikoff was named the game’s Most Valuable Player, after hauling in a bunch of catches that set up all three of the Raiders scoring drives. While he did not find the end zone, the Raiders would not have gotten into Minnesota territory without him, as Oakland would cruise to a 32-14 victory over the Purple People Eaters.

A four-time Pro Bowl player for the Raiders, Biletnikoff is a member of not only the College Football Hall of Fame, but also  the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The best wide receiver award in college football is named after him, and when it comes to Raiders wideouts, he is on the Mount Rushmore for sure.
