Awards are never a bad thing.

And this year, despite the Las Vegas Raiders' struggles, six Raiders players were named in the top five players at their position by the NFLPA.

Along with the NFLPA putting out their first-ever Players’ 1st Team All-Pro, they did something unique: Instead of doing a first and second team the way the AP does, they asked players at each position to give their top five.

Once tallied, the Raiders saw six players make the top five at their position. Those positions? Running back, Fullback, Wide receiver, Edge rusher, Kicker, and Punter.

Here is the full list:

• RB 1. Josh Jacobs (All-Pro)
• FB 4. Jakob Johnson
• WR 2. Davante Adams (All-Pro)
• ED 3. Maxx Crosby
• K 2. Daniel Carlson
• P 3. AJ Cole

Adams was named number two behind Justin Jefferson that it was Adams who was named first-team All-Pro. These top fives don’t line up like a simple first-team, second-team, third-team style.

Regardless, it is good to see the Raiders players getting love despite the rather disappointing season.
