Maxx Crosby is a beast on the Raiders’ defensive line and strikes fear in quarterbacks with his relentless pass rush. Drafted late, he turned hard work into dominance, earning the moniker “Mad Maxx” and Pro Bowl honors. Known among fans for his energy on the field, Crosby’s leadership extends beyond the field which impresses everyone, including his coach, Antonio Pierce and the Raiders’ new owner, Tom Brady.

Although Brady’s deal is expected to be over by the end of the month, he is already a part of the set-up. His recent visit to the Raiders camp ignited a moment for Crosby, who narrated the incident on a podcast.

I said ‘All right AP watch this and Tom, I’m like Tom make sure you’re paying attention.’ Sack, sack, sack. Just burning just like get the f*** out of here. I watch. I said ‘Practice is over, the game’s over, and he just looked at me and just started smiling.”
