Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby is as self-motivated as it gets.

The two-time Pro Bowler, who has aspirations of becoming one of the greatest to ever play the game of football, sought out for a permanent reminder that would emulate that mentality.

Crosby got a full-torso tattoo of some of the greatest athletes in sports history in Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, and Kobe Bryant, TMZ Sports reported on Tuesday.

The images are displayed left to right -- or vise versa from Crosby's perspective -- with a graphic of Jordan at the free throw line, Ali iconically boasting after knocking out Sonny Liston, and Bryant intensely celebrating a moment from his 20-year NBA career.

Above Ali and Bryant are the words: "BE LEGENDARY."

Crosby also had an image of his infant daughter tattooed on his right pectoral. He also had his jersey number, 98, and "TX," the abbreviation for his home state of Texas, etched on himself as well.

TMZ says the work was done by Andres Ortega of Onder Ink and took about 11 hours to do.

Onder Ink has done tattoos for other NFL players like Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, Detroit Lions defensive end Joshua Paschal, Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin.

Crosby enters his fifth season with the Raiders and is seemingly as determined as ever to get to where he wants to be.

He comes off his best season yet, having totaled career-bests in sacks (12.5) combined tackles (89), tackles for losses (22), and quarterback hits (36).

The edge rusher was selected to his second-straight Pro Bowl but was once again left off the All-Pro First and Second teams.

Crosby has totaled 231 combined tackles, 37.5 sacks, 16 passes defensed, and 93 quarterback hits in his four years as a Raider.

He was drafted by the Silver and Black in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Eastern Michigan.
