The Oakland Raiders signed Rodney Hudson in March of 2015, plucking him away from division rival Kansas City. Since taking over as the main man in the middle of the Raiders offensive line, Hudson has blossomed into one of the better interior linemen in the NFL, and many consider him the best center.
Hudson made an immediate impact in the Silver and Black, as he proved to be one of the better centers in football during the 2015 season, and was rated the best run blocker in the league at his position. In 2016, he would make his first of three Pro Bowl with the Raiders, as he helped the team to a 12-win season, and was a key cog behind Derek Carr putting together nearly an MVP season.
