"I have seen the Raiders develop into what they are today"

Jim Otto's quote talks to the impressive improvement of the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders have gone from a having a hard time group in the 1960s to among the most successful franchises in the NFL. Otto, who played for the Raiders from 1960 to 1974, has actually seen the group's increase to prominence firsthand. He has seen the Raiders become a powerhouse in the AFC, winning three Super Bowls and appearing in five. He has seen the team's renowned players, such as Ken Stabler, Marcus Allen, and Tim Brown, become family names. He has actually seen the group's fan base grow from a little, enthusiastic group to one of the most enthusiastic and devoted fan bases in the NFL. Otto's quote is a testament to the Raiders' amazing change and the effort and commitment of the players, coaches, and fans that have made it possible.
