While the Las Vegas Raiders would like to forget the 2024 NFL season, at least they have a few bright spots to look forward to, like rookie tight end Brock Bowers looking like he will be one of the best tight ends in the league in the future and still having star pass rusher Maxx Crosby on the defense.

Crosby also made recent franchise history this week after it was revealed he had made his fourth-straight Pro Bowl, continuing to be one of the bright spots of what has been a struggling Raiders franchise.

Crosby is now tied with Chester McGlockton for the second most Pro Bowls among defensive linemen in Raiders history, only trailing the legendary Howie Long, who has eight. He is also just one out of 15 players in the NFL to be selected to the Pro Bowl in each of the last four seasons.

Crosby totaled 45 tackles and seven-and-a-half sacks this season with only one game left to play, doing all of his damage before being shut down for the rest of the year for an ankle injury.

Coming off of a career year in 2023, where he had 90 tackles and 14.5 sacks, the star pass rusher will look to get back to similar numbers in 2025.
