Howard Matthew Moses Long, born on January 6, 1960, is a former professional football player who made a significant impact in the National Football League (NFL) as a defensive end. Long spent his entire 13-season career with the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders, a franchise that selected him in the second round of the 1981 NFL Draft. Known for his exceptional strength, speed, and football intelligence, Long quickly became one of the most dominant defensive players of his era. His ability to disrupt opposing offenses and his leadership on the field were key factors in the Raiders' success during the 1980s.

One of the highlights of Long's career came in 1984 when he helped lead the Raiders to victory in Super Bowl XVIII, where they defeated the Washington Redskins 38-9. Long's performance in that game, along with his consistent play throughout the season, solidified his reputation as one of the premier defensive ends in the league. Over the course of his career, Long earned eight Pro Bowl selections and was named to the NFL's First-Team All-Pro three times, further cementing his legacy as one of the best at his position.

In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the game, Howard Long was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000. His induction was a testament to his remarkable career and the lasting impact he had on the Raiders' franchise and the NFL as a whole. Long's combination of physical prowess and football IQ made him a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks and offensive linemen, and his leadership helped shape the Raiders' defense into one of the most feared units in the league during his tenure.

After retiring from professional football, Long transitioned into a successful career in broadcasting and acting. He became a well-known studio analyst for Fox Sports' NFL coverage, where his insights and expertise have made him a respected voice in the world of sports media. Long's post-football career has allowed him to remain a prominent figure in the NFL community, and his contributions to both the game and its coverage continue to be appreciated by fans and analysts alike.
