The franchise hosted its second annual Alumni Wellness Weekend, with many former players returning for another year based off the success of the year prior, such as former receiver Jacoby Ford.
The weekend isn't just confined to Alumni, but family is welcomed as well. Ford brought his wife with him last year and made his mother his plus one this year.
The former speedster, with nine total touchdowns in his Raiders career, soaked in every moment during the weekend from chatting and cracking jokes with his former teammates to sharing a word with a few legends in attendance, like Super Bowl MVPs Jim Plunkett and Marcus Allen.
All in all, Ford felt like he was just one of the boys again.
"It's healing for us because we'll always miss the game," he said, "but one thing we always appreciate is getting back together and now we get to combine generations as well."
_Once a Raider, Always a Raider_ isn't just a slogan, but a serious mantra taken on by the franchise and its alumni department, which provides innovative and productive ways to care for players.
"This weekend is a reflection of the Raiders' enduring commitment to our alumni," Raiders President Sandra Douglass Morgan said. "Their legacy goes beyond the field, and our responsibility is to ensure they have access to the tools and resources needed to thrive in life after football."
The Wellness Weekend was packed with a range of activities for the players and families. The three-day event featured several opportunities for former players to be educated on the resources at their disposal for their mental and physical health as well as financial stability. This included a Wellness Expo at The M Resort, and various wellness workshops with health professionals.
