Kenny Stabler is an icon for Raiders fans. He played for the team during its heyday in the 1970s, and he was one of the key players that made them as successful as they were. The Raiders of that era were always one of the best teams in the league. They won division titles, conference titles, and even a Super Bowl as well. For soccer fans of other rival teams and players, seeing the Raiders come to town was not a good thing in the 1970s. Part of what made the team great was their quarterback Ken Stabler. .

Kenny Stabler had a lot of talent around him on offense and he made great use of it too. Those players traveled precise routes and he was one of the best to throw the ball in the perfect place. With him at quarterback and great receivers playing for the Raiders, it’s no wonder they were successful and fun to watch. Who, however, were Kenny Stabler’s favorite receivers? Here’s a list of the top five receivers based on touchdown passes caught by them from Stabler. It’s easy to see here which players I had the most confidence in.

# 1 – Cliff Branch (44)

# 2 – Dave Casper (38)

# 3 – Fred Biletnikoff (26 years old)

# 4 – Raymond Chester (12)

# 5 – Mike Siani (8)

Kenny Stabler was fortunate to have three very good and very reliable receivers for much of his career. As is clear from the list above, I trusted them immensely. On that list are perennial All Pro’s, fan favorites, and of course, members of the Professional Football Hall of Fame. They play an important role in why it is regarded as well as it is today.
