Forty-one days remain until the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, Pa., April 23-25, 2026. After a 3-14 season in 2025, the Las Vegas Raiders hold the No. 1 overall pick as this daily countdown continues through the franchise’s best players by jersey number.
Today, March 13, the number is 41.
Phil Villapiano, No. 41
Phil Villapiano, known as “Foo,” is the pick for No. 41 because he was a defining linebacker of the Raiders 1970s rise and a key piece of a championship defense. From 1971-1979, Villapiano brought energy, range, and a relentless motor that fit the Raiders identity.
