Raiders' Mad Stork revisited? Rookie 'Mad' Maxx draws comparisons

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- To Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis, there was something familiar about the way Maxx Crosby moved around the field, disrupting opposing offenses on game tape.

A long torso with long arms and long legs. A whirling dervish with a chip on the shoulder and a motor that never stopped.

Yes, Davis, who has been around the Raiders since his late father Al came aboard in 1963, saw a little Mad Stork in the Eastern Michigan Eagle.

That would be Ted Hendricks, a Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl champion with the Raiders, whose physical attributes are similar to Crosby's.
