The Raiders have a tradition of great centers that starts with Jim Otto, the original. After dominating in the ’60s, he gave way to Dave Dalby, another great one. And he would dominate from the ’70s all the way up until the early ’80s. In 1983, the greatest NFL Draft ever, the Raiders took offensive tackle Don Mosebar. That draft was so good, they missed on Dan Marino and still got a great player. When he got to the Raiders, Davis moved him to one of the guard positions. Then eventually, as Dalby got older, Mosebar took the center spot and ran with it. And by his second year at the position, he made one of his three Pro Bowls. He anchored one of the best offensive lines in football with the Raiders until 1994. The Raiders had a winning season in six of his 11 years as the Raiders starting center. They had some great offenses and made some deep playoff runs too. Davis showed the NFL back then that a man that’s 6’6″ can play center.. . . Don Mosebar. 8. team. 28
