Who’s wearing it now: TE Qadir Ismail
Ismail was signed this offseason. Receiving is in his blood as his father is former NFL wide receiver Qadry Ismail and his uncle is former Raiders WR/KR Raghib “Rocket” Ismail. Along with his hands being in his bloodlines, he stands at a towering 6-6. He showed up well in minicamp and could either sneak onto the roster or earn a spot on the practice squad.
Who wore it best: WR Art Powell
Back when reaching 1000 yards was a very big deal, Powell was flying by that mark every season. He played DB as a rookie in 1959. Upon switching to receiver, Powell immediately was named a first team All Pro. All told, he spent 10 years in the NFL, joining the Raiders in 1963. In his four years in Oakland, he made the Pro Bowl every season, had double digit touchdowns every season, went over 1000 yards three of them and over 1300 yards twice…in 14 games per season. Just an absolutely dominant player.
