We hit 65 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
No. 65
Who's wearing it now: G Alex Cappa
The eighth-year veteran spent his first four years in Tampa where in his third year, the Bucs won a Super Bowl. So, this offseason, when Tom Brady joined the Raiders as a minority owner, he brought onboard GM John Spytek, and then Cappa was released by the Bengals, they moved quickly to sign him to man the right guard spot in Las Vegas. Cappa has worn the number 65 his entire NFL career and retains it with the Raiders.
Who wore it best: T Barry Sims
Sims was an undrafted free agent by the Raiders out of Utah State in 1999. As a rookie, he assumed the job at left tackle and never let go. He was the full time starting left tackle for the next seven of the next eight years. This included the Raiders playoff seasons from 2000-02.

Steelers' Terry Bradshaw Cracks Top 15 Best NFL Quarterbacks Ever
Steelers' Terry Bradshaw Cracks Top 15 Best NFL Quarterbacks Ever originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Before Terry Bradshaw (along with a few others) joined the Pittsburgh Steelers in the early 1970s, the franchise was a forgotten one, with zero success in the league during its history. Advertisement That all changed beginning in 1970 when Bradshaw was selected No. 1 overall by the Steelers. Bradshaw went on an incredible run to help put the Steelers on the map. That was continued in the 2000s by Ben Roethlisberger. Now, both appear on CBS Sports' list of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. 18. Ben Roethlisberger "'Big Ben' started his career by going 13-0 as Pittsburgh's starter during his rookie season, the best mark ever by a rookie quarterback. Roethlisberger followed that up a year later by becoming the youngest quarterback to win the Super Bowl as the Steelers became the first six-seed to win it all. Three years later, Roethlisberger capped off one of the greatest Super Bowls of all time by completing one of the most clutch passes in NFL history when he hit Santonio Holmes for the game-winning score. Advertisement "Roethlisberger was named to six Pro Bowls and is fifth all-time in career passing yards and eighth in career touchdown passes. He's the only player in history with three games with at least 500 passing yards. He had back-to-back games with six touchdown passes back in 2014." While Roethlisberger cracks the top 20, Bradshaw is just a bit higher and breaks into the top 15 at No. 13. 13. Terry Bradshaw "Believe it or not, Bradshaw is the only Steelers player who has won league MVP, doing so in 1978. Bradshaw also won the first of two consecutive Super Bowl MVP awards that season while becoming the first (and only) QB to win back-to-back Super Bowls twice. In Super Bowl XIII (played at the end of the '78 season), Bradshaw threw for then-Super Bowl records 318 yards and four touchdowns in Pittsburgh's 35-31 win over the Cowboys in the first Super Bowl played between two franchises that had already won multiple Super Bowls. Advertisement "In four Super Bowls, Bradshaw threw nine touchdowns against just four interceptions. He threw the game-winning score three times."

Patrick Mahomes Shares Heartfelt Message From Mom Randi Mahomes on Friday
Patrick Mahomes Shares Heartfelt Message From Mom Randi Mahomes on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs' training facility may have been closed for the holiday, but Randi Mahomes, mother of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was busy documenting a calm family scene back home on Friday. Advertisement Her Instagram story showed four‑year‑old daughter Sterling Skye Mahomes and 13‑year‑old half‑sister Mia Randall together at the kitchen table. A former athlete herself, Randi married Pat Mahomes Sr., a longtime MLB pitcher, and helped raise three children, including Patrick, his brother Jackson and half-sister Mia. Patrick and wife Brittany have three children: Sterling Skye (4), Patrick "Bronze" III (2) and Golden Raye (6 months). Within hours, Patrick reposted it, with nothing more than a single, "❤️." Patrick Mahomes, InstagramPatrick Mahomes, Instagram After starring in three sports at Whitehouse High School and posting staggering numbers at Texas Tech (5,052 passing yards and 41 touchdowns in his junior year), Mahomes was selected 10th overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. Advertisement Under coach Andy Reid, he has since become a three-time Super Bowl champion, three-time Super Bowl MVP, two-time NFL MVP, three-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15).Denny Medley-Imagn Images Mahomes also already holds numerous NFL records, including fastest to 30,000 career passing yards (103 games) and most total yards by a quarterback in a season (5,614 in 2022). Despite coming short of a historic three-peat last season, the Chiefs remain among the elite franchises in the NFL, with high hopes of competing for another Lombardi Trophy next season. Yet, with training camp still weeks away, this story momentarily shifts focus from trade winds, draft grades and preseason projections to simple family joy.
