Two Raiders players were named to The Associated Press’ All-Pro teams Friday.
Punter AJ Cole was named to the first team, while edge rusher Maxx Crosby was placed on the second team. The rosters were selected by a panel of 50 media members.
Cole averaged 50.4 yards on 75 punts in 2023. He received 36 first-place votes, 32 more than second-place Bryan Anger of Dallas.
Crosby finished fourth in the voting among edge rushers behind Cleveland’s Myles Garrett, Pittsburgh’s T.J. Watt and Dallas’ Micah Parsons. Crosby finished the season with a career-high 90 tackles, including 14½ sacks and 23 tackles for losses.
