Three Raiders Named to PFWA's 2021 All-AFC Team
In this story:
Las Vegas Raiders punter A.J. Cole, defensive end Maxx Crosby and left tackle Kolton Miller were all voted as members of the Professional Football Writers of America's (PFWA) All-AFC team on Monday.
Cole, a first-year Pro Bowler, also received the honor of being named to the PFWA All-NFL team after a remarkable season in which he led the league in the highest punt yard average. He had 28 of his punts downed inside the 20-yard line.
The star punter was also selected to the 2021 NFL All-Pro First Team.
Crosby, another first-year Pro Bowl honoree, had a standout year himself. The third-year pro led the league in quarterback pressures. He was given a 91.7 PFF grade, the second-highest in the league for an edge rusher this season.
Miller, the longest-tenured Raider of the three (four years), played every offensive snap for Las Vegas this season and attained a PFF grade of 84.2.
Prior to Monday, not a single Raider had made a PFWA All-AFC team since former Raiders left guard Kelechi Osemele did so for the 2017 season.
