The Raiders had an NFL-high seven Pro Bowl selections, had two players earn first-team All-Pro recognitio­n and defensive end Khalil Mack was named the Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year.

Mack, the Raiders’ first-round pick in 2014, earned his second straight Pro Bowl nod, while quarterbac­k Derek Carr, the team’s second-round selection that year, emerged as a Most Valuable Player candidate and has received Pro Bowl invitation­s in each of the last two seasons.
