Been a Steelers fan since 1974........but Branch was a great player and a guy I always pulled for. He and Fred were a dynamic duo on the outside. Sad!

Oh man, so sad. The 70’s Raiders teams still have a lot of my all time favorite players.

RIP Cliff. He, Fred, Dave Casper, and The Snake are all-time childhood memories.

I remember watching Cliff Branch streaking up the sideline, outrunning everyone. Al Davis tried and tried, but never found another like him.

Hate to hear that. The Raiders were my dad's favorite team and players you mentioned (along with Ted Hendricks, Jim Otto, and George Blanda) were his favorites.

Bummer for sure. Those were fun teams with the mixture of outlaw and good guys.
