One of the biggest surprises of the 2019 season was the emergence of Maxx Crosby of the Oakland Raiders. Despite being drafted in the fourth-round, Crosby went on to record 10.5 sacks playing opposite of No. 4 pick Clelin Ferrell.
Crosby won often this season due to his motor and athleticism. He is still learning how to rush the passer and that should be a terrifying thought for opposing quarterbacks. Take a look at some of his best plays from the 2019 season via the NFL’s Twitter account:

If the Raiders can improve their secondary this offseason, that should give Crosby even more time to get to the quarterback. Combine that with his desire to continue to work on his craft and you are looking at a player who could routinely record double-digit sacks every season. Crosby is one of the team’s most important players going forward.
