When the Las Vegas Raiders retake the field, they will be counting on defensive end Maxx Crosby to continue leading the defense.
Despite trade rumors swirling over the Pro Bowl pass rusher, Crosby is committed to playing for the Raiders. With defensive coordinator Patrick Graham and defensive line coach Rob Leonard returning for duty, Crosby has the benefit of returning to the lineup in a familiar scheme. Although Crosby’s efficacy this season waned due to injury, the offseason gave him plenty of time to recover and return to the field at full strength.
The time off allowed Crosby to express how the Raiders can improve for next season, including some ideas for defense.
