Raiders' Maxx Crosby is the Standard

That is where the extra work came along and the mindset to go after everything. Crosby has gotten better each season since being drafted by the Silver and Black. Every year, he is always looking at ways to improve.

Next season, with the regime, it will be no different for Crosby. He is trying to go out there and dominate the opponent. Crosby will stop at nothing to prove he is the best and the best defensive player in the NFL.

He has led the way for the team over the years, and he is now the standard for the franchise and what they are looking for in players they bring on and trust to play on the team.

Our Hondo Carpenter talked about how Crosby sets the standard for the Raiders on a recent episode of the "Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast."

"If you are going to talk about defense in the National Football League, let alone the Silver and Black, Raiders Nation, you start with the best defensive player in all the National Football League, and that is Maxx Crosby," said Carpenter. "He is a man of great integrity off the field. He is a tremendously successful businessman... as well he is a tremendous father, great husband, and a wonderful friend. Maxx Crosby ... He loves to compete, he has that switch."

"Maxx sets the absolute standard for this team. He is the first man in the building, often long before coaches. He is the last guy to leave. He does all of his treatments. He watches more films."

"Everything that Maxx does is at a standard."
