The Oakland Raiders named 3 pro bowlers from this year including 2 from the defense.
Nnadmi Asomugha has been named a Pro Bowler for the 3rd time in his NFL Career along with DE Richard Seymour, who Punched Ben Roethilsberger right in the face this year, and last, Punter Shane Lechler who leads the AFC in Punting this year.
Lechler leads the AFC in punting (47.0 yards per attempt) and net punting (40.6) and is second in the NFL to NFC selection Mat McBriar of Dallas in both categories. He noted to Raiders.com that his numbers are down a bit from last year's career highs in both categories (51.1 and 43.9)."It wasn't one of my better years, but it was still nice to be atop the AFC," Lechler told Raiders.com.
It was Seymour's first selection for the Raiders after being named five times with the New England Patriots. In 13 games, Seymour has 48 tackles, 5.5 sacks and was dominant during a three-game win streak.
