The Raiders top two players and top vote-getters have taken their rightful place on this year’s Pro Bowl roster.
DE Maxx Crosby and P AJ Cole have both been named Pro Bowl starters.
Crosby makes his third straight trip to the Pro Bowl after leading the league in tackles for loss (21), leading all EDGE players in combined tackles (88) and tying for the second most pressures (86) in the AFC. He also put up 13.5 sacks and 27 QB hits — both top five in the AFC.
Myles Garrett (Browns) and Trey Hendrickson (Bengals) were the other DE’s to make it for the AFC.
TJ Watt (Steelers), Khalil Mack (Chargers), and Josh Allen (Jaguars) made the roster as outside linebackers.
Cole is also headed to his third straight Pro Bowl. On 71 punts this season, his 50 yards per punt and 44.8 net yards per punt are both NFL bests for players with at least 55 punts. And Cole leads the league in punts inside the 20 (33) among those with fewer than 80 punts.
Bryan Anger (Cowboys) made the roster for the NFC.
Both Crosby and Cole both finished second in AFC Pro Bowl voting.
