10 greatest Raiders not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

10 greatest Raiders not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

QB Jim Plunkett

Jim Plunkett was the starting quarterback for both Raiders Super Bowls in the 80s. His career numbers aren’t fantastic but he won when it counted. He is the only eligible two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback not to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

DE Greg Townsend

One of the more oddly overlooked players in NFL history. Townsend isn’t often even mentioned among Raiders great pass rushers like Howie Long. I don’t want to compare them in such a way that would take away from Long’s greatness, but he had 84 career sacks while Townsend is the Raiders all-time leader with 109.5. Both were crucial parts of the 1983 Super Bowl squad. Long is in the Hall of Fame. Townsend doesn’t get a sniff. I know sacks aren’t everything, but they’re something.
