Silver Minings: Cliff Branch is enshrined in the Hall of Fame

The Las Vegas Raiders have a rich history of hall of fame players since 1960. The Raiders have 19 legends enshrined in Canton, Ohio, who played four plus years with the franchise.

One of the players missing from this list was Cliff Branch. He was a vital weapon on three super bowl championship teams in the '70s and '80s. When he retired, Branch ranked 11th all-time in receiving yards and 12th in receiving touchdowns.

Add on three All-Pro selections, and it makes no sense why Branch didn't have a gold jacket. That all changed Saturday with Branch finally getting the respect he deserves.
