As the old saying goes, ‘iron sharpens iron.’ For Las Vegas Raiders right tackle Thayer Munford, who is about to enter his first season as a full-time starter after coming off the bench in years one and two, he gets to put that phrase to good use during training camp this summer.
Defensive end Maxx Crosby has become one of the best pass rushers in the NFL over the last couple of years and told Munford that he’s going to be challenging Munford every day as the team prepares for the regular season. That’s a challenge the offensive lineman has embraced so far in camp and is already paying dividends.
