Jon Gruden, a well-known former head coach, has successfully transitioned into football analysis in recent months, offering insights on games, players, and coaches. Recently, he dedicated a post to Maxx Crosby following the Raiders’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Despite the Raiders’ 19-17 loss to Kansas City Chiefs, Crosby stood out with a dominant performance, recording four quarterback hits on Patrick Mahomes and three solo tackles.
Gruden highlighted Crosby’s impact on X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“What other pass rushers play 100% of the plays in a game? Maxx Crosby’s all-out effort, production, and stamina are incredible. I hope every young pass rusher pays close attention to it!”
Crosby has played 100% of the defensive snaps in multiple games this season, a testament to his endurance. Despite the Raiders’ poor 2024 record, Crosby has been a defensive standout, notably in their only win against the Ravens, where he logged 65 defensive snaps.
