Maxx Crosby

One of the biggest bright spots over the last few weeks has been pass rusher Maxx Crosby. The former fourth-round pick that many thought would be more of a ‘wait and see’ type player has been thrown into a large role, and his presence are being felt early on.

Crosby has effected the game in both avenues — being a factor in the run game, and applying pressure to opposing quarterbacks off the edge. In Crosby’s last two performances he’s recorded one sack, one tackle for loss, two quarterback hits, two passes defended and one forced fumble.

Crosby has shown massive growth week-after-week and this Sunday gives him another opportunity to take another leap forward.
