It’s that time of year when everyone and their mother releases their version of the All-Conference, All-Region or All-any other way to group NFL teams. By the way, make sure to check out our All-AFC West offense and defense!
The Pro Football Writers Association has been releasing its version of the best players at each position since 1966 and their All-AFC and NFC teams since 1992. This year, two Las Vegas Raiders were selected for the All-NFL squad but it might not be the two you’re thinking of...
Running back Josh Jacobs was an obvious choice as he won the rushing title, and kicker Daniel Carlson also received the honor after setting an NFL record with 11 field goals made of 50 or more yards.
Some Raiders fans will be screaming at the top of their lungs: “Where’s Davante Adams and Maxx Crosby?”
Well, the PFWA only picked two wide receivers — the Miami Dolphins Tyreek Hill and Minnesota Vikings Justin Jefferson — for the All-NFL team. Crosby was beaten out by the San Francisco 49ers’ Nick Bosa, Cleveland Browns’ Myles Garrett, Dallas Cowboys’ Micah Parsons and the Philadelphia Eagles’ Haason Riddick. Those are the same four players who were chosen to the Associated Press’ All-Pro teams ahead of Crosby as well.
However, those two did make the All-AFC team giving the Silver and Black four representatives within the conference. The full list of all three PFWA teams is below.
