 | Jim Otto by Dave Newhouse, Jim Otto
Jim Otto is generally recognized as one of the greatest and most durable offensive centers the game of football has ever seen. He wasn't drafted by any NFL team, so he joined the Oakland Raiders of the new AFL, went on a strength program to increase his weight by 50 pounds and became Oakland's starting center for the next 15 seasons. Jim Otto: The Last of the Great Football Heroes is the story about a man who fought through numerous injuries, frequent surgeries, and a myriad of other maladies. Double-zero recalls stories about all of his famous Raider teammates, his most memorable opponents, and the behind-the-scenes life of an NFL Hall of Famer. Otto also tells about how injuries he received as a pro football player have turned his retirement years into a struggle to live. AUTHOR: Dave Newhouse, Jim Otto
