Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Malcolm Koonce is entering the most critical season of his career. He is learning all he can from defensive end Maxx Crosby.

As he enters arguably the most critical season of Koonce’s career, Koonce continues to learn as much as he can from both of the mentioned players.As the Raiders look forward to a fresh start this season, they will undoubtedly need the absolute best version of
