Raiders Bruisers Marv Hubbard and Mark van Eeghen Oakland, Los Angeles, and now Las Vegas Raiders have a long legacy of great fullbacks, Marv Hubbard and Mark van Eeghen are legends. Author: Apr 1, 2021 The Oakland Raiders were a passing team from their earliest days in 1960, but they complemented that with a power running game, especially from 1969-81. Behind a formidable offensive line that included the likes of five Hall of Famers—center Jim Otto, guard Gene Upshaw, tackles Art Shell and Bob Brown, and tight end Dave Casper—the Silver and Black went right at their opponents. And the leading rushers during that time were Marv Hubbard and Mark van Eeghen, both hard-running fullbacks who played college football at Colgate. Hubbard led the team in rushing from 1971-74, while Van Eeghen did it from 1976-80.
