Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby is coming off a stellar 2023 campaign. Looking ahead to 2024, where does he rank among the league's best players?
Earlier this month, CBS Sports' Pete Prisco did his annual Top 100 players list. The usual suspects, Patrick Mahomes, Myles Garrett, Josh Allen, and Justin Jefferson, were at the top. Near the top was Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby. Crosby made a remarkable jump from No. 38 in 2023 to No. 11 in 2024.
It is no secret that Crosby one of the best edge rushers in an era stacked with talented edge rushers. Perhaps that is why he goes overlooked among Garrett, TJ Watt, Micah Parsons, and Nick Bosa, who were all above him in the list. "Maxx Crosby never seems to get the recognition his play deserves, but he continues to show he belongs in the upper echelon of edge defenders," PFF's Sam Monson. "Crosby racked up 94 quarterback pressures in 2023 despite battling through a knee injury that lingered for most of the year. He was one of the most effective pass-rushers in the game and may be the best run defender of the elite players at his position.
It is hard to argue against the four above Crosby. At the same time, one cannot argue his value to his team. Crosby is versatile, boasting an elite PFF run defense grade of 92.7. When it comes to pass , fourth in total pressures with the aforementioned number of 94. 14.5 sacks and a league-leading 23 tackles for loss .
