"[Marvin] will be missed dearly by the Raider family and the entire NFL community. He was a great man of faith, an exemplary teammate and co-worker for four decades, and was truly a Raider for life. Mickey was a tremendous asset to the Raiders, but most importantly he was a true friend. Our prayers are with his family at this time.
"
Raiders long snapper Jon Condo and Tennessee Volunteers head football coach Butch Jones tweeted condolences to Marvin's family:
Marvin played 11 years for the Raiders from 1977 to 1987 after the team selected him out of Tennessee with the 112th overall pick in the 1977 draft.
He was on the roster for the franchise's last two Super Bowl wins in 1980 and 1983, and his 120 regular-season appearances are 15th-most in Raiders history for an offensive lineman, per Pro Football Reference.
