Sunday at the age of 86. He is survived by his wife Sally, son Jim Jr. and 14 grandchildren. No cause of death was given

A star out of Miami, Otto spent his entire 15-year career with the Oakland Raiders which spanned from 1960 to 1974. He led the Raiders to an AFL Championship in the 1967 season, setting up a showdown with the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl II, the organization’s first showdown in the big game.

Arguably the greatest center of ever, Otto was a nine-time First-team All-AFL selection, a nine-time AFL All-Star and a three-time Pro Bowler. He was named to the NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team in 2019, one of four centers to make the team alongside Dwight Stephenson, Mike Webster and Mel Hein.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Otto’s family and friends during this difficult time
