First, it was the NFLPA’s All-Pro team. Now, it’s the Associated Press’s All-Pro team. On Friday, AJ Cole and Maxx Crosby were named AP first and second-team All-Pro honorees, respectively.

Both Cole and Crosby were previously named to the NFL’s Pro Bowl Games, as well.

Maxx Crosby led the league with 23 tackles for a loss, his second year in a row leading the NFL in that category. The 26-year-old edge rusher finished the 2023 NFL season tied for fifth in the league for sacks (14.5) with a 92 defensive grade from Pro Football Focus, the fifth highest of all defensive players. Crosby led the Raiders in quarterback hits (31) and quarterback pressures (50), too.
