Really tough to try and narrow it down to just 4 so I made mine 5:
Howie Long (DE, 1981-1993, 1997)
Howie Long was drafted by the Raiders in 1981. He wore the silver and black for 13 years, was selected to 8 Pro Bowls, named First Team All-Pro 3 times, recorded 91.5 sacks, and won a Super Bowl in 1983. Long was inducted into pro football's Hall of Fame in 2000.
Jack Tatum (S, 1971-1979)
Jack Tatum played safety for the Oakland Raiders for 10 seasons. "The Assassin" was voted to 3 Pro Bowls and was a part of one Super Bowl championship team. He is widely considered one of the hardest hitters to ever lace on a pair of cleats.
Jim Otto (C, 1960-1974)
Jim Otto played center for the Oakland Raiders for 15 years. He was an AFL All-Star/Pro Bowler for 13 straight seasons and never missed a game in his career. Otta played in 308 consecutive games and was inducted into the pro football Hall of Fame in 1980. He won an AFL Championship in 1967.
Gene Upshaw (G, 1967-1981)
Gene Upshaw played offensive guard for the Oakland Raiders for 15 years. He played in 3 Super Bowls and is the only player in NFL history to reach the Super Bowl in three different decades for the same team. He was a 3 time All-Pro and two time Super Bowl champion.
Marcus Allen (HB/FB, 1982-1992)
Marcus Allen played for the Raiders for 10 years. He made the Pro Bowl 6 times, was a first team All-Pro twice, won 1 Super Bowl, and was named the NFL MVP once. The Heisman trophy winner was inducted into pro football's Hall of Fame in 2003. USC head coach John Robinson once said that Marcus Allen is the greatest player he ever saw.
