The Pro Football Writers of America released their selections for their All-NFL and All-AFC and All-NFC teams Monday. And there wasn’t a Raiders player to be found.
Easily the most deserving was tight end Darren Waller, but he has the misfortune of sharing the position and the conference with Chiefs TE Travis Kelce who had a phenomenal season, finishing second in the league in receiving (1,416 yards).
Others potentially deserving include center Rodney Hudson and running back Josh Jacobs. The latter was selected to the Pro Bowl along with Waller.
Here are the full PFWA All-NFL, AFC, and NFC teams.
