Maxx Crosby, a formidable presence on the defensive line, continues to affirm his position as one of the premier defensive ends in the NFL. Since his selection as a fourth-round draft pick from Eastern Michigan in 2019, Crosby has been a key player for the Las Vegas Raiders, demonstrating his ability to disrupt opposing offenses effectively.
Despite the Raiders only making a single appearance in the Wild Card Round in 2021 during Crosby’s time with the team, he remains committed to propelling his team to greater achievements. The lack of sustained playoff success has only intensified Crosby’s drive to excel and contribute significantly to his team’s success.
During a recent appearance on the “Games with Names” podcast hosted by former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman, Crosby shared insights into his defensive strategies and mentality when facing top-tier quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert. He emphasized the meticulous preparation and unwavering focus required to disrupt the rhythm of elite quarterbacks.
Crosby outlined his approach, emphasizing the importance of relentless pressure on quarterbacks like Mahomes and Herbert. He stressed the need to maintain constant pressure and deny them any breathing room, as even a slight opening can allow them to make game-changing plays.
