Of course, it would have been fun for Al Davis to see Hill play. Davis, who died in 2011, was a purveyor of the deep ball. He was one a king in the evolution of the vertical game in the NFL. Davis coveted speed and was always looking for the next great speed burner. Therefore it’s no surprise that several of the top speed receivers of all-time have donned the Silver and Black. Four of the 10 all-time greats Brandt listed played for Davis with the Raiders, namely: Warren Wells, James Lofton, Jerry Rice and Randy Moss. A fifth — Lance Alworth — was drafted by the Raiders but started his career with the Chargers when Davis was their wide receiver coach. Surely Davis wished he could bring the man they called “Bambi” with him up north when he joined the Raiders in 1963.
