Even though the Las Vegas Raiders once again fell apart in the second half of the season, resulting in them watching the playoffs from the comfort of their home, there were some impressive performances from individuals along the way. Quarterback Derek Carr once again threw for over 4,000 yards while tossing only nine interceptions against 27 touchdowns.
Josh Jacobs went over 1,000 yards for the second straight season, and became a Pro Bowler for the first time, as did tight end Darren Waller. Waller proved himself to be the best player on the Raiders roster, and also one of the best in the entire league at his position.
Waller finished the 2020 campaign with the Raiders franchise single-season receptions record, passing Hall of Famer Time Brown, and like Jacobs, earned his first Pro Bowl selection.
Finally, Nelson Agholor went from being a joke and a meme last season to becoming Carr’s No. 1 deep threat, and almost amassed 1,000 yards on the season, ending with 896 yards and eight receiving touchdowns. Missing out on the playoffs was almost a shock after a 6-3 start, but as we put a bow on the 2020 campaign, here are our Award winners.
