Maxx Crosby's New Role: Bridging Football and Management
Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby is set to add an assistant general manager title with Eastern Michigan University's football team in 2025. His role will involve evaluating prospects, managing the NIL/revenue share budget, and supporting the athletic director in fundraising and alumni relations. Drafted by the Raiders in 2019, Crosby became one of the NFL's top pass rushers, recently signing a lucrative three-year, $106.5 million contract. In his honor, EMU plans to rename the weakside defensive end position from "LEO" to "MAXX," and the top edge pass rusher will wear jersey No. 92, Crosby’s college number. This move highlights Crosby's significant impact both on and off the field.
