The Raiders have sent a trio of players to the Pro Bowl.  32-year old DT/DE Richard Seymour got a lot of respect due to his past production as he has played in 15 games for the Raiders so far this year in which he has 27 tackles, 6 sacks and 3 passes defensed.  33-year old kicker Sebastian Janikowski will be the kicker for the AFC.  He has played in 14 games for the Raiders so far this year and he has connected on 27 of 31 field goals (87.1%) including a 63-yard bomb.  Janikowski has made 9 field goals of over 50 yards so far this year.  He has also made all 34 of his extra point attempts this year as he has scored 115 points so far this year.  35-year old punter Shane Lechler is also going to the Pro Bowl.  He has played in 15 games for the Raiders so far this year and he has punted the ball 77 times for 3,902 yards (50.7 avg).  He only has 8 touchbacks (10.4%) and he has placed the ball inside the opposing 20-yard line 27 times (35.1%).

The Raiders have sent 33-year old punter Shane Lechler and 28-year old CB Nnamdi Asomugha to the Pro Bowl.  Lechler has been one of the best punters in the NFL since the day he arrived in Oakland and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.  Lechler has played in 15 games for the Raiders this season and he has punted the ball 91 times for 4,647 yards (51.1 avg).  Lechler has only 11 touchbacks (12.1%) this season and he has pinned the opposition inside their 20-yard line 28 times (30.8%).  Nnamdi Asomugha has played in 15 games for the Raiders this season and he has made 34 tackles, 8 tackles for a loss, defensed 4 passes and he has 1 interception.  Asomugha gets this honor based on his reputation as teams just don’t challenge his side of the field much anymore.
