3 Raiders finish in top 10 by position in Pro Bowl fan voting

The final vote tallies have been released for Pro Bowl fan voting and three Raiders players are among the top ten at their positions.

Even though the 2024 season is not over yet, the fan voting is done for the Pro Bowl. The final tally has three Raiders players finish in the top ten at their respective positions.

TE Brock Bowers (2nd)
DE Maxx Crosby (5th)
ILB Robert Spillane (7th)

Travis Kelce finished ahead of Bowers at tight end despite Bowers currently besting him in literally every statistic.

Rec Yds 1144 823
YPC 10.6 8.5

Not to mention Bowers is having a season for the ages breaking several rookie records already.

Crosby has missed four games this season and is still tied for third in the league with 17 tackles for loss. The four defensive ends with more votes than Crosby are all in the AFC. And with Crosby unable to accept an alternate spot, it may be tough for him to make the team this year.

Spillane is currently sixth in the league with 142 combined tackles (85 solo) and his seven pass breakups and two interceptions leads all linebackers. Two of the six inside linebackers with more votes than Spillane are in the AFC — Daiyan Henley and Roquan Smith.

Fan votes count for one third of the deciding factor in which players make the Pro Bowl. The final announcement of Pro Bowl rosters will take place on Thursday, Jan 2.

Some results for Pro Bowl fan votes were released Tuesday, and there were four Raiders who cracked the top 10 at their respective positions.

Las Vegas tight end Brock Bowers received the second-most Pro Bowl fan votes among tight ends, Robert Spillane received the fifth-most votes among inside linebackers, Maxx Crosby received the sixth-most votes among defensive ends and Daniel Carlson received the 10th-most votes among kickers.

Bowers is in the midst of a historic rookie season. The 6-foot-4, 230 pound tight end currently leads the NFL in receptions (84) and ranks fourth overall in receiving yardage (884). Bowers’ 884 receiving yards, 445 yards after catch and 43 first downs are all tops among NFL tight ends.

After registering a career-high 140 receiving yards on 10 receptions last week against the Kansas City Chiefs, Bowers has been nominated for NFL Rookie of the Week for the fifth time this season.

Spillane leads the Raiders with 111 total tackles. The sixth-year pro has also registered seven tackles for loss, four passes defended, one interception and one sack this season.

Crosby owns the Raiders’ team-leads in both tackles for loss (16) and sacks (7.5). The 6-foot-5, 255 pound defensive end is a nightmare for opponents and has 43 total tackles and four passes defended to his name in 2024.

Lastly, Carlson is 23-of-28 on field goal attempts this season. Carlson is perfect on field goal attempts from within 39 yards and has connected on five field goals of 50-plus yards. The Auburn alum is also a perfect 18-for-18 on PAT tries.

Fan voting for the Pro Bowl Games continues through Dec. 23.

There’s no limit to the number of times a fan can vote and you can do so at ProBowl.com/Vote and directly on X during the final two weeks (Dec. 9-23) by posting the player’s first and last name, tagging his official handle or creating a hashtag with the player’s full name.

Any of the three methods performed on social media must include the hashtag #ProBowlVote. Those social votes will count as double Dec. 22-23.

Las Vegas (2-10) returns to action with a Week 14 date at Tampa Bay (6-6). Kickoff is set for 10 a.m. PT from Raymond James Stadium.
