Raiders Legend Rod Martin, All-Pro Linebacker and Super Bowl Hero, Passes Away at 72
Rod Martin, former All-Pro linebacker for the Raiders, has passed away at 72. Selected in the 12th round of the 1977 NFL Draft, he enjoyed a 12-year career entirely with the Raiders, becoming a two-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion. Martin set a record by intercepting three passes in Super Bowl XV, aiding the Raiders in their first wild-card Super Bowl victory. He also contributed to their 1983 Super Bowl XVIII win. With a career total of 56.5 sacks and 14 interceptions, Martin was a key player on a formidable Raiders defense. The team expressed deep condolences to his family.
