Maxx Crosby Discusses His Admiration for Patrick Mahomes

The Las Vegas Raiders might be one of the rare teams entering this season with no trepidation about facing Patrick Mahomes. This isn’t to say that the Kansas City Chiefs aren’t the superior team or that the Raiders are anticipated to make a playoff run. However, the Raiders previously triumphed over the Chiefs, and Maxx Crosby remains undeterred by any opponent.

Despite his relentless drive and competitiveness, Crosby holds a deep respect for those who share his fervor for the game. Speaking on Mad Dog Sports Radio, he expressed admiration for Mahomes, noting that unlike many quarterbacks, Mahomes isn’t intimidated by facing formidable defenders like Crosby or anyone else in the league. Crosby values this fearless attitude as integral to how the game should be played.

Crosby, known for his relentless physicality and unwavering determination to be the most formidable player on the field, approaches every play with intensity. Whether he’s up against a protected quarterback, a seasoned veteran, or the league’s elite, his effort remains consistent and fierce.

Mahomes exhibits a similar mentality on the offensive side. In an era where quarterbacks often benefit from excessive protection, Mahomes embraces the challenge without seeking to exploit the rules for undue advantage.

As the Raiders and Chiefs prepare to clash twice this season, the matchup between Crosby and Mahomes promises to be an exciting and personal rivalry to watch.
