Maxx Crosby Make His NFL Top 100 Players Debut
The Las Vegas Raiders topped off the total number of players from last year’s NFL’s Top Players list.
On Sunday, the NFL Network revealed the third member of the Silver and Black on the NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2022.
Pro Bowl edge rusher Maxx Crosby makes his NFL Top 100 Players debut at No.59.
Crosby joins quarterback Derek Carr (No.65), and fellow edge rusher Chandler Jones (No.62) on the list.
After being snubbed from many different accolades, Crosby received plenty of recognition a year ago, as contributed to the Raiders success and first playoff berth in five years.
“Maxx got a lot of moves. If you watch somebody with a lot of moves, you’re a football fan… he knows how to get to the quarterback,” said New England Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon during the reveal.
The first-time Pro Bowler finished the 2021 season with 56 tackles (26 solo), eight sacks, 13 tackles for a loss and 30 quarterback hits.
His outstanding performance last season earned him a spot on the NFL’s Second Team All-Pro.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen somebody play football at the level of effort that Maxx Crosby does. And we’re talking games, we’re talking practice, we’re talking walkthroughs…just on at all times,” said teammate tight end Darren Waller.
Since his arrival to the league, Crosby has become a household name for Raider Nation.
But outside of that, not many praises and recognition was given to Crosby.
Today, people know who he is, where he lines up and how fast he plays.
“Maxx [Crosby] is probably my favorite player in the league right now,” said Denver Broncos newly acquired linebacker Randy Gregory.
The countdown of the remaining Top 100 Players of 2022 will continue for the next three Sundays on NFL Network:
- Nos. 100-51: Sunday, August 14 at 8 p.m. ET
- Nos. 50-31: Sunday, August 21 at 4:30 p.m. ET
- Nos. 30-21: Sunday, August 21 at 11 p.m. ET
- Nos. 20-1: Sunday, August 28 at 8 p.m. ET
With the addition of Crosby, the Raiders have surpassed the total number of players from a year ago and the way the team played last season, there’s no way the list ends here.
