Today is another day to celebrate the Raiders’ rich history as the Pro Football Hall of Fame inducts its 2022 class.
Of course, the Raiders will be well represented as the late, great Cliff Branch will be finally inducted. Also, defensive lineman Richard Seymour, who spent the final four seasons of his career with the Raiders, is going into the Canton, Ohio museum as well.
Branch, who died in August, 2019 two days after his 71st birthday, was voted in by the hall of fame’s senior committee in February.
It had long been considered an omission that Branch was left out of the hall of fame for so long.
