Najja Williams, Team Staff Member
The Las Vegas Raiders proudly nominate Najja Williams for the NFL's Salute to Service Award presented by USAA. A United States Air Force veteran and the Raiders' Chief Engineer of Facilities, Najja exemplifies the values of discipline, leadership, and selfless service that define both our Armed Forces and our organization.
Najja served with distinction for 16 years (1996–2012) as a Nuclear Missile and Space Facilities Superintendent and Military Drill Instructor. His commitment to service continues in his civilian role, where he leads with integrity and purpose.
One of Najja's most impactful contributions is his leadership in revitalizing the Raiders' Flown Flags for Deployed Military initiative. Under his guidance, American and Raiders flags flown above the Intermountain Health Performance Center are ceremoniously folded by veteran Raiders staff and sent care packages to deployed service members around the world. Each package includes a certificate of authenticity, creating a meaningful and tangible connection between our team and those who serve.
Through his continued dedication, Najja honors the military community and inspires those around him, making him a deserving nominee for this prestigious recognition.
