Raiders' AJ Cole, Maxx Crosby Named to 2024 Pro Bowl
USA TODAY Sports

Las Vegas Raiders punter AJ Cole and edge rusher Maxx Crosby are going back to the Pro Bowl, as reported by the NFL on Wednesday.

Each player will be making the trip for the third straight year. Out of the three seasons, this was certainly Crosby's best, and it can be argued it was Cole's as well.

Cole is averaging 50 yards per punt, which is tied with his career-best from two seasons ago when he led the league in the category. He was also named a first-team All-Pro that year. The fifth-year Raider has also punted for a career-high 3,549 yards.

Cole comes off one of his best, if not best, game of the season in which he had four punts downed within the Indianapolis Colts' 10-yard line.

Crosby has made a strong case for himself as this year's Defensive Player of the Year as the star pass rusher has somehow trumped his career 2022 campaign.

With a game to go, Crosby has totaled 88 combined tackles, a league-leading 21 tackles for losses, a career-high 13.5 sacks, two passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. The fifth-year Raider is just two tackles and two tackles for losses away from reaching career-high in the categories.
