Raiders DE Maxx Crosby has the fifth-most pressures in the NFL

Maxx Crosby has elevated his game in a big way this season. Not only is he creating more sacks than ever, but he continues to find ways to get to the quarterback.

Through Week 7, Crosby has already recorded 30 pressures. That is the fifth-most in the NFL. However, the four pass rushers ahead of him have not had their bye week yet. He is only six pressures out from being No. 1 in the NFL and it seems like he could get to the top of this list by the end of the week.

Outside of just rushing the passer, Crosby has even stepped his game up as a run defender, as well. He is one of the most well-rounded defensive players in the NFL and he really doesn’t have a noticeable weakness.

It’s another MVP-caliber season for Crosby as he continues to be one of the most disruptive defensive players in the league.
