Art Powell who played in the CFL and the NFL before landing with the NY ans of the AFL then.....Da Raiders.
He was their first stud WR.
Wiki
He finished ranked third all time in yards gained in the AFL with 8,015, behind Don Maynard (10,289) and Lance Alworth (8,976). Four decades after his playing career ended, Powell remains the Raiders fourth all-time leading receiver, scoring 50 touchdowns during his four seasons with Oakland. With five seasons of over 1,000 receiving yards, he earned American Football League All-Star accolades for four straight years and was among a select group that was chosen on the All-Time All-AFL Team. The latter balloting took place in 1970 following the merger between the AFL and NFL, and was selected by Hall of Fame selectors and wire services. Despite catching only 479 career passes, Powell pulled in 81 for touchdowns and he still ranks 26th all-time in career touchdown receptions, and his career touchdown rate of 16.9% (that is, the percentage of his catches that went for touchdowns) is amongst the best ever.

As we know the Raiders had a slew of college sprinters at WR like....
Warren Wells
Bo Roberson........Oly long jumper
Cliff Branch
Jacoby Ford
Willie Gault
Rocket Ismail
Alexander Wright
James Jett
Alvis Whitted
Sam Graddy
James Lofton
Fred Belitnikoff (non sprinter) the slowest and the best.
Why they got rid of Armani Cooper?
Derek Carr is no Big Ben, so will Antonio "ME" Brown be happy with a lesser QB?
I can see Gruden having no clue how to deal with AB, this could get ugly. BUT....Gruden is that old school...FOOTBALL, God, Sex, Country.,,and AB does work hard.
What? That isn't Art Powell, that is Clem Daneils the first Raider 1000 yard rusher.

^incredibly riveting material and really expands upon the wisdom from the OP. Truly groundbreaking imo
brb, taking full disk encryption backup on my laptop, ordering replica image, and storing my original laptop in an underground vault to make sure I can always come back to this thread to re-read
Your a Browns fan so what is you take on trading Bobby Mitc away to make room for Ernie Davis?
Dwight Clark is a TE.....HAHAHAHA~~~~
TT a track powerhouse............hahahahaha~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haaaaahhaaaa
So you called him a WR/TE
Who else would that fit, he can't be the only one.....right? Ever see anyone call Jimmy Graham a TE/WR?
Blake......WR/TE...hahahahaha~~~~~~~~~
ANYTHING, but....ok ok ok I was wrong.....hahahaha~~~~~~~~~~~
translation
No doubt Clark was a WR, I just refuse to admit I was wrong, so deal with it.
Joe Montana: "he would even play tight end"
You're wrong and you'll clearly never be able to deal with it.
Blake, do you take meds, dead serious.
THINK...THINK....ok?
You really don't get what is being said there, really? Do you really think Joe says Bert Jones or Russ Francis or Charles Young...."he would even play tight end"....of course not ya see,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,THEY WERE TE's.
Blake, watch the ing game......... dude. .
Are you re ed guy?
Joe Montana said it. You need to take the anger from your loss out on Joe.
Dude, at no time do we see Clark at TE, yep.....you're whipped son.
Blake, somebody needs to jump in and stop this, you are cut to ribbons, blood all over the place, this....but Joe said....ain't working son.
Toss in the towel little man, ok?
