Raiders Maxx Crosby Featured on Hard Knocks
Every NFL season, the show "Hard Knocks" gets to have a special in-season edition featuring one NFL team. This year's in-season team is the Miami Dolphins.
The first episode of Hard Knocks in the season with the Miami Dolphins featured the Raiders' Week 11 game against the Dolphins and defensive end Maxx Crosby.
A brief part of the first episode was about Crosby and what the Dolphins' game plan was for stopping him.
Crosby spoke to the media in the locker room after the Week 12 game against the Kansas City Chiefs about the respect he got from the show.
"Yeah I had some people in my family and stuff send it to me, so I checked it out," Crosby said. "Me and Rachel watched it and it was cool, you know. At the end of the day I play the game for one reason and that is because I love it, and I want to leave a legacy and be the best of what I do. So when I see stuff like that, it is like a little bit more validation about you know all the work I put in and, you know, it is just a little check mark.
"It gives me more motivation to keep going and keep getting better because I'm only at the beginning of my story, so every single day is a battle, every day is a challenge. Getting to see other teams and things like that preparing for me in different ways, and practicing in doing extra stuff, all that is pretty cool to see, especially when it's the great ones like the Dolphins, the Chiefs. Things like that and some of the best coaches and players in the league showing respect is really cool."
The Raiders are entering their bye for Week 13 of the 2023-24 NFL regular season. The Baltimore Ravens, the Buffalo Bills, the Chicago Bears, the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants join the Raiders this week on a Week 13 bye.
