Maxx Crosby and AJ Cole are set to represent the Las Vegas Raiders at the 2024 Pro Bowl.
This is Crosby’s third appearance in five seasons. With one game left in the 2023 season, the 26-year-old edge rusher has a career-high 13.5 sacks already. He has also recorded 88 tackles and 21 tackles for a loss, both one less than 2022’s numbers. And nine times this year, he’s played 100% of his team’s snaps.
“He is the only defensive lineman since 2000 to register 85-plus tackles and 20-plus tackles for loss in consecutive seasons (2022-23),” the Raiders noted in a press release. “He has also recorded three multi-sack games, tied for fifth-most in the league, and is just one of six defensive linemen to post 10-plus tackles in a single game in the NFL this season
