10. Tommy Kelly

While the majority of Tommy Kelly’s tenure with the Raiders was in the 2000s, he was still very effective at the beginning of the most recent decade. The defensive lineman racked up 16 sacks and 34 quarterback hits both of which ranks fourth in the last 10 years for Oakland.

Considering those stats only takes three seasons into account makes the end of his tenure with the organization even more impressive.

Out of his three seasons within 2010 to 2019, Kelly had two seasons with seven or more sacks and was one of the more dominant defensive linemen for the Silver and Black. The former undrafted free agent certainly exceeded expectations and is one of a few players who could make a couple All-Decade teams for the Raiders.
