Breaking: The outstanding defensive end for the Las Vegas Raiders underestimated the players he will face.

The NFL is a top-tier league because of the players’ mutual respect and togetherness.

Maxx Crosby, the standout defensive end for the Las Vegas Raiders, is one of the best players in the NFL, but he’s also one of the top competitors in the league right now because of his respect for his coaches, teammates, and rivals

One of his fans questioned him about the most underappreciated player he has ever faced on the most recent episode of his podcast, The Rush with Maxx Crosby. With due respect, the two-time Pro Bowler included other players, including a few quarterbacks, such as Baker Mayfield of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers, and Jacoby Brissett of the Washington Commanders

He remarked of Brissett, “There are a lot of teams he could start on.” “I played Jacoby Brissett several times during my career. He’s agile and has a great throwing arm, but he reminds me more of an athletic Jameis Winston. I have a great deal of respect for him because he has a strange, deft manner of finishing passes and dodging the rush.

Throughout his career, Brissett has faced the Raiders three times, throwing for 480 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception

Love is one of the better young quarterbacks in the NFL right now, according to Crosby.

He stated, “I feel like he is exactly that mold when it comes to the new wave of quarterbacks in the league, but he has had his ups and downs and things like that.” He can move in the pocket, is powerful and resilient, and can make throws while sprinting. Without a doubt, I believe Jordan Love will excel in this league.

Mayfield’s competitive spirit and self-assured playing style are another thing that Crosby admires.

He declared, “I have the utmost respect for Baker.” We’ve played against each other a few times and broken it up a few times. The one thing about Baker that makes him both beloved and despised by fans is that he isn’t your traditional quarterback. He doesn’t simply go out there and be quiet; he’s a fierce competitor who will say his shit and attempt to make plays off schedule in an effort to support the team in any way he can.

Along with Mike Evans, a wide receiver with the Bucs, Crosby also recognized Tytus Howard, an offensive lineman for the Houston Texans, and Malcolm Koonce, a young defensive end, who was a teammate.
