As the Pro Football Writers of America rolls out their awards, the latest is the Rookies of the Year and the All-Rookie Team. The Raiders already had a few All-NFL and All-AFC players. And they land a player on the All-Rookie team as well.
Tre’Von Moehrig has made the PFWA All-Rookie team at safety along with Dolphins’ Jevon Holland.
Moehrig was also on the Pro Football Focus All-Rookie team as he and Holland were the only full time rookie safeties in the NFL this season.
Rookie CB Nate Hobbs deserved a shot at the team as he had more tackles than either Patrick Surtain II or Greg Newsome II. While Surtain did have four picks, Newsome had none. But they were both first round picks, so they are thought of more than a fifth round pick like Hobbs.
Here is the full listing of PFWA picks:
