Maxx Crosby, standout edge rusher for the Las Vegas Raiders, has taken on a new role as the assistant GM for football at his alma mater, Eastern Michigan University. In addition to his responsibilities with the Raiders, Crosby will now be involved in scouting potential recruits for the college football team and enhancing their NIL and recruiting efforts. The university has honored Crosby by renaming the LEO position to the MAXX position, with the top edge rusher each year wearing his college number, 92.
Despite his new position, questions arise regarding Crosby's level of involvement during the NFL season and training camp, especially after becoming the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Crosby's unique dual role as an active NFL player holding a significant position in college football marks a notable development in the sports industry.
