The lineups for the 2016 Pro Bowl were announced Tuesday evening, with the Oakland Raiders earning three selections, their most since 2011.
Safety Charles Woodson, fullback Marcel Reece and defensive end Khalil Mack will be representing the Raiders January 31 in Honolulu, Hawaii at Aloha Stadium, but perhaps even more telling for the future of the Silver and Black are the three alternates named from the Raiders – quarterback Derek Carr, wide receiver Amari Cooper and running back Latavius Murray.
Heading into the 2015 season, if you were to take an educated guess on who the Raiders Pro Bowl representatives would be at season’s end, you likely would have heard the names Woodson, Reece and Mack mentioned in earnest.
