Tribute to one of the very best corners of all time and the best Raiders to wear the Silver and Black. 5 time first team All Pro and named to 9 All Star / Pro Bowl teams. Willie brown as also named to the NFL All 1970's team and was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 1984 as a Raider. A linebacker in college, Brown was converted to corner and became the undisputed master of bump and run coverage that helped him intercept 54 passes in his career and win Super Bowl XI with the Raiders. Brown was cut by the Oilers, then played 4 seasons with the Broncos before finding a permanent home with the Raiders. After his playing career ended, Brown went on to coach the Raiders defensive backs from 1979-1988 and served as an ambassador / administrator for the Raiders from 1995-2019.
During a Bills game two years ago I was on the field while the Raiders warmed up and was 5 feet away from him. Didn't want to bother him but he had on a leather pro football hall of fame trench coat and a leather hat and looked as absolutely iconic as you would expect.
