On Sunday, though, Otto passed away at the age of 86. He was a 12-time All-Pro center and really reimagined the way the center position was played, especially because he was originally viewed as a player who was undersized at the position. However, he was as mean as they come.
Everyone in Raider Nation and in the Raider family is mourning the passing of Otto, as we all should. However, it is important to highlight the people who are [paying tribute as well.
Maxx Crosby, a current Raiders player who embodies the spirit of the Raiders in today's culture, took to Twitter to express his tribute to Jim Otto. His heartfelt words serve as a reminder of the lasting impact Otto has had on the Raiders franchise and its players.
