From images of iconic athletes tattooed on his torso to his expressed desire to be one of the best of all time, Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby has made it no secret that he expects greatness from himself.
That makes it all fitting that he would represent a brand that embodies that mindset. In his latest episode of "The Rush With Maxx Crosby" podcast, Crosby revealed that he had signed with the Jordan Brand, the official brand of basketball legend Michael Jordan.
"I mean, literally, since Day 1, I've been manifesting it," Crosby said on the podcast. "I didn't want to be with anybody else, I've always wanted to be with Jordan. They've got 14 guys in the league.
"I think I was with CJ [LaBoy], it was like right after the season, and CJ called me and he was like: 'Yo, we need to talk.' And I'm like: 'I'm like oh [expletive], what's going on here? What happened?'
"And he immediately was like: 'Bro, Jordan wants you, bro.' So, he said Cliff -- shoutout to Cliff King from Jordan, the man -- he gave me a call as well, but they have their names, they got to send it to Michael [Jordan], and Michael picked the boy. And it's a [expletive] dream come true, bro.
"I've been wanting to be with them since Day 1."
Crosby had a dinner with Team Jordan, which included some of the NFL's brightest stars, a meeting he called "legendary."
"I mean, Honey Badger [Tyrann Mathieu], obviously Cam Jordan, lot of big dogs in there," Crosby said. "And there was Dwight Freeney, as well. I got to chop it up with him, which was dope."
Crosby also joins fellow Raiders teammate Davante Adams as a member of Team Jordan.
The NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 25-27, 2024. The Las Vegas Raiders currently have the No. 13 overall pick.
