While this time of the year might be a good time to look forward considering July is a dead period for the NFL and the fun is only ahead of us, we are going to take some time to look back.

Below are all the colleges that the current Oakland Raiders attended many years ago sorted by conferences.

Notably, the SEC and the Pac-12 lead the way with 14 players each on the Raiders. But close behind are the ACC and Big 12 with 13 respectively and then the Big Ten with 10 players.

Among the heavyweight conferences, Oakland has four players from Florida, USC and Florida State and has three players from Arkansas, Kansas State and West Virginia.

Outside the Power 5 conferences, 25 Raiders still remain but no schools have more than two on the Oakland roster.

However, the Raiders have hit with their picks outside the Power 5 including Khalil Mack, Derek Carr, Justin Ellis and Jalen Richard. So being able to have solid scouting at the less known schools can’t be understated and Oakland has done a good job of it in recent memory.
