Fordgalaxy Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I didn't want to make a separate thread, but another great player, Cliff Branch, has died. He was an outstanding receiver who played most or all of his NFL career for the Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
