Raiders DE Maxx Crosby, K Daniel Carlson named AP 2nd Team All-Pro
Just one Raiders player was named First Team All-Pro. That’s punter AJ Cole who got it with 21 votes. But he wasn’t alone in the voting. Two other Raiders got enough votes to earn themselves a place on the Second Team.
DE Maxx Crosby got six All-Pro votes, which landed him on the second team along with Robert Quinn. TJ Watt and Myles Garrett made the First Team. Crosby led the NFL with 101 pressures, but his eight sacks weren’t enough to compete with Garrett’s 16 and certainly not Watt’s new NFL record 22.5 sacks.
K Daniel Carlson had a tremendous season, but found himself behind Justin Tucker in the voting. Carlson received eight votes and was named to the Second Team.
Just missing the cut was Cole and Carlson’s long snapper Trent Sieg whose four votes was tied for third.
Also receiving votes was LB Denzel Perryman (2) putting him tied for ninth in the voting. Perryman made his first ever Pro Bowl this year after leading the NFL in tackles much of the season.
