3 Las Vegas Raiders players who could make their first Pro Bowl

Nick Kwiatkoski, LB

During the 2020 offseason, the Raiders made it a point to go out and get some players to improve the linebacker position. They used a draft pick on Tanner Muse, who did not play as a rookie, and in free agency, brought in Cory Littleton and Nick Kwiatkoski to take over as starters.

While Littleton was the bigger get at the time, it was Kwiatkoski who had a breakout season with the Raiders and could be in for an even better year in 2021. Kwiatkoski has already been named one of the top linebackers in the league heading into 2021, and in Bradley’s system, he will have a chance to make plays weekly.

Kwiatkoski played in 12 games for the Raiders after signing a three-year deal to come to Las Vegas and was by far one of the best defensive players on the team. All told, Kwiatkoski racked up 81 tackles, a sack, and an interception, and in 2021, he should easily reach over 100 tackles, propelling himself to his first Pro Bowl nod.
