Maxx Crosby is a bright light for the Las Vegas Raiders on and off the field.
Tuesday morning, Crosby was recognized for his value to the franchise as he was named the Raiders’ nominee for this year’s NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year award. It is the most prestigious award given every year.
The award, named after the Chicago Bears’ Hall of Fame running back who died in 1999, honors a player for who both excels on the field and shows a passion for leaving a legacy that goes beyond the playing field as the great Payton did.
