Countdown to 2020: Best Raiders player to wear No. 91
With 91 days until the opening game of 2020, we start the count down with the best Raiders player at every jersey number. Today we focus on No. 91.
With the season a few months away, we take a look at the best player to wear the jersey number of the number of days left before the opener on September 13, 2020 against Carolina. That game will kick off the new era of Raiders football.
We continue our series with No. 91.
There is one very clear winner of this honor but before we get to that, there is the honorable mention category which features a player chosen with one of the first round picks the Raiders received in the infamous Jon Gruden trade. Tyler Brayton was chosen with the 32nd pick of the 2003 NFL Draft and spent five seasons with the Raiders before playing for the Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts.
In five seasons with the Raiders, Brayton recorded six sacks, 183 tackles, an interception, and only missed one game over that span. He was a hard-nosed defensive lineman who was more known for his motor than his talent and his nine-year career is a testament to his work ethic.
Now on to the best player to ever wear number 91 in Silver and Black.
