Veteran Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby has become one of the leaders of Von Miller's annual Sack Summit. This year, he was joined by many of his fellow Raiders defensive linemen.
The Las Vegas Raiders defense spent the first half of last season determined to show they had improved as a unit. However, they ended last season accomplishing much more than that, as they finished last season as arguably one of the best defenses in the National Football League. The Raiders’ defense finished ninth in the league in scoring defense with a defense that has few household names on it.
Adding Wilkins to a defensive line that includes veterans Maxx Crosby, John Jenkins, Malcolm Koonce, Tyree Wilson, Adam Butler and Janarius Robinson gives the Raiders arguably the best defensive line in the league from top to bottom. The Raiders have stout starting defensive linemen and depth behind those starters, arguably equally as good as a few defensive lines around the league.
For the last few offseasons, Crosby has teamed up with veteran pass rushers Von Miller and Cam Jordan, amongst other notable defensive ends and interior defensive linemen from around the league, for a brief workshop where the players exchange ideas and work on their crafts. Crosby said the Raiders’ defensive line’s strong showing at the Sack Summit shows how focused the unit is as they enter the upcoming season.
