Silver Minings: Maxx Crosby named DPOY candidate by PFF

Going from a fourth-round pick to a Pro Bowler in just three seasons, Maxx Crosby has quickly established himself as a premier player for the Las Vegas Raiders.

Crosby has accumulated 25 career sacks which are the second-most in the 2019 draft class and just a half-sack behind the leader, Brian Burns. What makes Crosby’s production even more impressive is he’s the lowest-drafted player inside the Top 10, and Dre’Mont Jones — Denver Broncos’ third-round pick — is the only other player selected outside of round one.

Last season was the Eastern Michigan product’s “breakout year” as he gained national attention with the aforementioned All-Star appearance and 107 total pressures, the most among edges and 19 more than the second-place finisher, Nick Bosa, per PFF.
