BOTD Gene Upshaw #Highway63 #Raiders #RaiderNation

crazy to think that 260 lbs was considered obscenely huge in that era

Back then lineman was 250 pounds

Didn't most of those Black offensive linemen who played in the NFL in the 50s, 60s & early 70s come from HBCUs?

Drafted Upshaw to offset the dominance of Buck Buchanan- fact!

He had illegal pads

Those hemlts were tin cans with face masks on them. Feel bad for those men
