With the NFL Draft just hours away, we sometimes forget that there is always talent available that will go undrafted. For whatever reason, players fall and slip through the cracks, but that doesn’t mean their journey is over.
In a recent piece by Barry Werner, he named each team’s best undrafted free agent signing on the Touchdown Wire. For the Raiders, he named cornerback Willie Brown as their top undrafted player. He was originally signed by the Broncos before being traded to the Raiders. Take a look at Werner’s explanation of the pick below:
A Hall of Fame cornerback, Willie Brown played college ball at Grambling State. He went on to become one of the best in the secondary the NFL has seen. The nine-time Pro Bowler and three-time Super Bowl champ had 54 picks in his storied career.
Brown was an All-Pro selection five times and won a Super Bowl and an AFL Championship. He started 140 career games for the Raiders and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1984. Along with Lester Hayes and Charles Woodson, he is one of the top cornerbacks in Raiders’ history.
