Oakland Raiders 2019 season jersey countdown: No. 95

There are 95 days until the start of the 2019 NFL season for the Oakland Raiders, and we take a look at those players who wore No. 95 in the Silver and Black.

The Oakland Raiders now officially have less than 100 days before kicking off their 2019 season, where they will look to become a contender in the AFC West. The combination of Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden brought in a ton of talent this offseason, and with 95 days left before Week 1, we continue our jersey number countdown.

We continue our countdown with jersey No. 95.

Who wears No. 95 now?

The 2019 NFL Draft class should be a good one for the Oakland Raiders, who utilized three first round draft picks, and six later selections to really bolster some areas of need. One of those areas was defensive end, where they used three picks, including the man wearing No. 95 currently for the Silver and Black.

That player is Quinton Bell, and exciting edge rusher talent from Prairie View A&M. Bell was the Raiders seventh round selection this past April, and with a solid summer, he could surprise some people and make the active roster out of camp.

Who wore No. 95 in the past?

Joe Cormier (1987)

Although a huge recruit in high school before heading to USC, Joe Cormier was not drafted until the tenth round of the 1985 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings. He appeared in only two games in his NFL career, making one start with the Raiders, while notching one sack.

Bob Buczkowski (1987)

During the 1986 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Raiders made Bob Buczkowski the No. 24 overall pick out of Pittsburgh. He played in only two games as a member of the Raiders, appeared twice in 1987, and was out of the NFL by the time he was 26.

Mike Charles (1990)

DeLawrence Grant (2001)

DeLawrence Grant played five seasons with the Raiders, after being drafted by the team in the third round of the 2001 NFL Draft. A starter on the team’s 2002 Super Bowl team, Grant changed to No. 99 when the Raiders got Sam Adams, before moving to linebacker and switching to No. 59, the opposite of 95 later in his career.

Sam Adams (2002)

Sam Adams came to the Raiders during the team’s Super Bowl run in 2002, and was given the No. 95 by DeLawrence Grant, the team’s third round pick in 2001. Adams spent only one season in the Silver and Black, appearing in 15 games while making 14 starts, while helping the Raiders to an AFC title.
