Raiders Countdown to Kickoff: 27: Who wore it best, who's wearing it now

Another day closer to the start of the 2015 season. Now just 27 days from meaningful football, which means we take a look at the best to wear the number 27 for the Raiders, which historically isn't a very popular number.

Who wore it best: RB Frank Hawkins (1981-87)

Originally drafted in the 10th round in 1981, he came to a team just off winning the Super Bowl. In total, he would spend seven seasons with the Raiders, which was his entire NFL career. In that time, he was a serviceable back. During the Raiders' 1983 season, he had career highs in carries (110), rushing yards (526), and touchdowns (8).
