In honor of Al Davis: The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine all-freak defense
By Evan Groat
The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine is in the books, and based what we saw on the field, former Raiders owner Al Davis would have loved these defensive players.
Al Davis, an icon in the history of the NFL is well known for many things. Before becoming the principal owner of the Raiders in 1972, Davis served as the team’s head coach from 1963-1965. In 1966, he became part owner and general manager, as well as commissioner of the AFL.
Another accomplishment in Davis’s career was his fight for civil rights in the game. He became the first NFL owner to hire an African American head coach as well as a female executive. His motto, “Just Win Baby” still to this day rings true in Raider nation.
And of course it’s also very well documented of Davis’s infatuation with big men that run fast. It was a part of the organizations DNA under Davis, sometimes to a fault. With that being said, this years NFL scouting combine behind us and I unveil to you the 2020 Al Davis combine all-freak team.
Tuesday, we unveiled our all-freak offense team, and today, we take a look at the other side of the ball.
