Cliff Branch was one of the greatest players in Raider history. Cliff struck fear into secondarys throughout the league during an outstanding 14 year career. The Raiders\' speedster finished his career as the NFL\'s postseason leader in receptions and yardage. This included 3 touchdowns in Oaklands three Super Bowl Victories. Cliff was a solid player who worked to become a complete receiver and wasn\'t the sterotypical speedster who cannot make a key grab. RECORDS: NCAA Division 1-A record for kickoff returns for touchdowns (8, t-1st) Oakland Raiders record for longest reception (99 yards from Jim Plunkett, 1983), AWARDS: Four Pro Bowl appearances. This petittion will be sent to the Canton Ohio Pro Football Hall of Fame in early December

His numbers prove his worthiness compared to some who got in much earlier. Don't do like Stabler and wait for him to die to remember how great he was and then put him in. Let him enjoy his deserved induction.

I believe it to be a travesty that Cliff Branch is not a member of the NFL HALL OF FAME! He has been a great asset to the Raiders organization as well as the league, so stop the nonsense and allow him to inducted into the Hall of Fame...
