The first selection of this years’ NFL Pro Bowl was revealed on Monday, and among them, three Las Vegas Raiders were selected.

Defensive end and team captain Maxx Crosby, linebacker Denzel Perryman, and punter AJ Cole have been named 2022 Pro Bowlers.

It is the first Pro Bowl selection for all three players, who have had stellar seasons with the Raiders.

Crosby, in his third season with the Silver and Black, has 39 total tackles, five sacks, four passes defenses, and a career-high 25 quarterback hits. Alongside Yannick Ngakoue, they have become one of the best pass-rushing duos in the NFL.

Cole, the leader among all punters this season, leads with an averaging league-high and career-high 51.1 yards per punt. Cole has also kicked the third-longest punt in the league this season (71 yards) and has recently signed a four-year extension with the team, locking him up for the future.

Perryman enters his seventh season in the NFL, first with the Raiders after being traded from Carolina. The veteran linebacker currently leads the team in tackles with 85 solo tackles and leads the league in solo tackles.

The Pro Bowl will be hosted in Las Vegas this season, with three Raiders playing at their home stadium.

The rest of the AFC and NFC rosters will be revealed on Wednesday, Dec. 22, on NFL Network and the 2022 Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, Feb. 6.
