We lost a gridiron legend today. Hall of Fame Center, Jim Otto, known as Mr. Raider, passed away today at the age of 86. Otto was undrafted in 1960, as the teams in the National Football League considered the Center to be too small to take his skills to the next level.  They got it wrong.  The AFL took shape the same year, and the Oakland Raiders saw something in the Miami Hurricane, and Otto was given the opportunity to win the Center job with the Raiders.  Otto won it as a rookie, and he would start the next (and first) 210 Games for the team. Otto was not just the best Center of the AFL in the 1960s; he was the top man in front of the Quarterback in all of Professional Football. He became an 11-time AFL All-Star/Pro Bowl Selection and was so dominant that no other center was a first-team All-Pro in the entire history of the American Football League. The Raiders would win the division seven times with Otto at Center, and won the AFL Championship in 1967.  Otto played his entire career with the Raiders and is the best Offensive Lineman in team history. In 1980, Otto was inducted into Canton in his first year of eligibility.  We at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, family and friends of Jim Otto.
