Yes, there is strong phylogenetic evidence suggesting that all dromaeosaurids possessed them. This evidence comes from phylogenetic bracketing, which allows paleontologists to infer traits that exist in a clade based on the existence of that trait in a more basal form.

In other words, evidence of raptors having feathers has been found in the bones themselves as well as fossil prints.
