That man went through hell. He was so busted up when he retired, he hurt every day of his life.

There have been a lot of great Raider players, but Jim Otto is one of THE greatest of the greats.
Nine times voted first team all-pro.
First ballot hall of fame.
Unfortunately for 00, he had to retire 2 years before the Raiders finally got over the *hump* and won a Super Bowl.
R.I.P.

Whenever I think of Otto. I think of Blanda playing QB at 84 years old.
RIP

Gene Upshaw, the Mad Bomber throwing to Wells and Biletnikof, Billy Cannon at TE, Hewritt Dixon, Big Ben Davidson, Willie Brown and, of course, the “other” Otto at LB.
Good times.
