Raiders: 5 players who could make the Pro Bowl this season

The Oakland Raiders have seen an abundance of players impress this season with many exceeding expectations. Here are five players who could realistically make the Pro Bowl in 2020.

The Oakland Raiders have surprised many this season — including many in their own fanbase — and currently own a 5-4 record right in the thick of things in a competitive AFC playoff race.

Few thought that this team would be able to compete for a playoff spot this year even after numerous offseason additions. And after the whole Antonio Brown scandal, many were just awaiting the ultimate Raiders meltdown.

But this team used the naysayers as motivation and head coach Jon Gruden has the Raiders playing their best football in years. They could be rewarded handsomely come January with a collection of players who call themselves Pro Bowlers.

Last season, the Raiders were shut out of the Pro Bowl initially before alternate Jared Cook was added as a last-minute addition. But other than that, the only other Pro Bowler to play on Oakland’s roster in 2018 was Amari Cooper.

Ouch.

But this year is expected to be different with a number of players well-deserving of Pro Bowl nods. Here are five Raiders who very well could make the Pro Bowl in 2020.
