Las Vegas Raiders punter AJ Cole and edge rusher Maxx Crosby continue to be recognized for their stellar 2023 seasons.

On Friday, the Associated Press revealed its All-Pro rosters for the 2023 season. Cole was named to the first team, while Crosby was named to the second team.

This is the second time Cole has been honored as an AP first-team All-Pro, the first having been for his 2021 campaign.

Cole reached career-highs this season in yards per punt (50.4) and total punt yardage (3,783). He also had the league's longest punt of 83 yards.

Crosby, meanwhile, makes an AP All-Pro team for the very first time after he had a career 2023 season, posting 90 combined tackles, a league-best 23 tackles for losses, and 14.5 sacks, all of which were career-highs.

Crosby was also named to his third straight Pro Bowl for his terrific season.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons was Crosby's fellow edge rusher on the Second Team.
