Raiders News: Maxx Crosby honored by Eastern Michigan Alumni

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby has become a household name in football, having made a name for himself with three consecutive seasons of constantly pressuring the quarterback.

Crosby was drafted in the fourth round after a successful career at Eastern Michigan. While playing at the collegiate level, he was selected to the All-Mac first team two seasons in a row. He needed to add size and develop a pass-rush plan to win on the perimeter. Crosby has put on weight and continues to develop into one of the best fullbacks in the NFL.

Because of his contributions to the NFL and the university, Crosby was honored with the naming of the football field. The announcement was made Saturday and Crosby was present at the unveiling.

This was a special moment for Crosby. Having his alma mater’s field named after him is a great honor and makes him one of the best players to ever play at Eastern Michigan. At 26, Crosby can make his mark on the NFL and become a Raiders legend.
