Kicker: Sebastian Janikowski

2nd team: Daniel Carlson

Janikowski all day. Had an injury not knocked him out of the 2017 season, he may have been the only kicker the Raiders had FOR TWO ENTIRE DECADES! He was their first-round pick in 2000 and missed just three games through 2016. He became the franchise all-time leading scorer years ago.

Punter: Marquette King

2nd team: Shane Lechler

I know what you’re thinking. How could King actually be first-team over Lechler? Well, Lechler left after the 2012 season to live out his dream of playing for his hometown Texans.

After that, King put up some royal punting numbers for five seasons in Oakland before his weirdness got him run out of town. But before that, he was regularly one of the best in the league. Lechler owned the first decade, and I mean for the NFL, not just for the Raiders. All in all, what a run of punting greatness amirite?

Return specialist: Jacoby Ford

2nd team: Dwayne Harris

Remember the season Jacoby Ford 3 kicks for touchdowns? That was 2010, just inside the decade. The following season he returned one touchdown while averaging 31 yards per return. Harris gets a tip of the cap for what he did last season first with the savvy step out of bounds to put the ball at the 40 and second for his 99-yard punt return for the touchdown. If he hadn’t been hurt this year, he might have made a run at the first team.

Special teamer: Taiwan Jones

2nd team: Erik Harris

Jones stuck around the Raiders for six years, mostly for his special teams prowess as a gunner and return man. He twice led the team in special teams tackles, and no player had more special teams tackles this decade for the Raiders than his 45. He also had a forced fumble and 3 fumble recoveries.
