Maxx Crosby, standout of the Las Vegas Raiders, asserts that none of his aspirations are beyond reach. With ambitious aims as a key player for the Raiders, Crosby envisions himself becoming a Hall of Famer, solidifying his status as the greatest Raider in history, and ultimately being recognized as the best in his field.
Dismissing any notion that these objectives are unattainable, Crosby emphasizes his steadfast belief in their achievability. With an impressive track record already established, including 52 career sacks over five seasons, three Pro Bowl selections, and two Second-Team All-Pro honors, Crosby is well on his way toward fulfilling these lofty ambitions.
His consistent performance suggests that he is on a promising trajectory, positioning himself favorably to realize his aspirations.
During the most recent installment of his podcast, “The Rush with Maxx Crosby,” featuring guest Coach Antonio Pierce, Crosby discussed his aspirations. He emphatically rejected the idea of limitations, stating, “There’s no such thing as a ceiling.
I don’t believe in that.” Refusing to confine himself to specific numerical targets each year, Crosby emphasized his commitment to continuous improvement, driven by the consistent effort he invests daily. For him, the journey towards advancement never halts.
“Pierce understands the grind. Even in the week following the season, I’m still moving around with a stiff-legged limp, my arm sore and battered, but this is my everyday reality.
I don’t subscribe to the notion of limits, nor do I adhere to so-called ‘realistic’ expectations.
There’s no ceiling on what I can accomplish heading into the next season.” Earlier in the podcast, Pierce remarked that Crosby won’t be counted among the NFL’s greatest unless he secures a Super Bowl victory. Crosby’s aspiration is to deliver a Lombardi Trophy to the Silver and Black.
Crosby holds the fifth position in Raiders’ history for sacks and ranks twelfth for tackles. Notably, he boasts 88 tackles for loss, leading the NFL in this category for the past two seasons. While Crosby has excelled individually, the Raiders’ overall success is pivotal to complement his performances.
Despite narrowly missing the playoffs last season, the Raiders are optimistic that Crosby and Pierce can guide them back to postseason contention in 2024.
