Maxx Crosby, a force to be reckoned with on the defensive line, continues to solidify his status as one of the elite defensive ends in the NFL.
Since being drafted as a fourth-round pick from Eastern Michigan in 2019, Crosby has been a cornerstone player for the Las Vegas Raiders, showcasing his prowess in disrupting opposing offenses.
Crosby remains focused on elevating his team to greater heights, but despite a lone Wild Card Round appearance in 2021, the Raiders have yet to achieve sustained playoff success during Crosby’s tenure. However, this has only fueled Crosby’s determination to push forward and make a significant impact for his team.
Explained how to stop Mahomes
In a recent appearance on the “Games with Names” podcast hosted by former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman, Crosby delved into his defensive strategies and mindset when facing top-tier quarterbacks such as Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert.
Sharing insights into his approach, Crosby provided a glimpse into the meticulous preparation and dedication required to disrupt the rhythm of franchise quarterbacks.
“When you’re playing a guy like Mahomes, you can’t let him breathe, you know what I mean?” Crosby said.
“You have to be on his a** the whole time, Herbert’s the same way; if you give Herbert a little bit of breathing room, he’s going to come back and make a play.”
