Amid a challenging season, the Las Vegas Raiders are finding an unexpected source of motivation: Maxx Crosby.
While fans might be dreaming of top draft picks and potential quarterback saviors like Shedeur Sanders, the Pro Bowl pass rusher is laser-focused on one thing: Keeping the team’s competitive spirit burning.
In fact, Crosby recently made a bold declaration that he’s willing to do anything for the squad.
“Hey, I’m ready to play quarterback. If they want me at quarterback, I’ll go out there and do it,” Crosby said, via SiriusXM NFL Radio. “We could run the triple option, you know what I mean, I’m a downhill runner.”

Crosby revealed he regularly practices throwing, believing that one day his quarterback fantasy might become a reality.
His determination is even more impressive considering the Raiders’ current struggles, including a seven-game losing streak and a 2-9 record.
After a Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos and rookie quarterback Bo Nix, most teams might want to surrender.
But Crosby’s unwavering commitment ensures there’s no hint of tanking, though a high pick in the 2025 NFL Draft looks promising.
Imagine the historic moment if Crosby actually steps in at quarterback, turning the Raiders’ dilemma into an unexpected opportunity.
It’s this kind of unpredictability and passion that keeps fans on the edge of their seats, wondering what could happen next in what’s already been a wild season.
Crosby embodies the true spirit of professional athletics in never giving up, always competing, and being ready for anything.
His attitude might be the spark the Raiders need to find some success in 2024, one unexpected play at a time.
