Fuck.

Furious wore #21 for a reason. It wasn't Stacey King.

Maybe now he gets the HOF's attention.

He was and is in beni's Hall of Fame. I didn't buy jerseys. I can say 21 made it on my must use alarm clock numbers because of him.

Def an all time great.

Looked up his stats and was surprised to see how only got 1000 yds twice in his career.

He absolutely should have been in the HOF by now.

Al Davis spent the rest of his life trying to find a worthy successor. Tim Brown was different, but in my opinion not as good as Branch.

I remember him torching the Bears and Virgil Livers. Immediately thereafter I began thinking of myself as my neighborhood team's Cliff Branch. RIP #21.

It's amazing to consider the Raiders quarterbacks he played with as well.
