From the Raiders' Locker Room: Maxx Crosby

Eastern Michigan University alumnus and Las Vegas Raiders superstar defensive end Maxx Crosby is excited to play the Detroit Lions in the Motor City tonight on Monday Night Football.

DETROIT, Mich.--The Las Vegas Raiders (3-4) look to get their season squarely back on the rails tonight when they will play the Detroit Lions (5-2) in the Motor City.

One player even more excited for this game, is the Silver and Black's superstar defensive end Maxx Crosby, who played for Coach Chris Creighton and the Eastern Michigan University Eagles.

Crosby grew up a Detroit Lions fan and secretly had hoped that the Honoloulou Blue and Silver would take him in the NFL Draft.  As we know, it was the Silver and Black and he is thrilled to be a Raider, but for Crosby this is a homecoming.

Crosby, in unison with the University, is going to have a huge announcement tonight that is undoubtedly going to have a significant impact on the University.

Crosby discussed his relentless approach to the game: "Yeah, no matter win or loss, you've never got it. That’s something I got from (Coach) Gus Bradley, and it's the absolute truth. The second you think you got it in this league, that's when you're going backward. So, yeah, it's huge to get a win. We're super fired up about it, but we've got to enjoy this and then tomorrow we're right back to it. I know myself; I will start watching tonight and get right back to it. Recovery already started and I got in the tubs already. It's every single day and that’s what is required. I just try to get my guys with me and keep improving. So we're super exciting when we win, especially at home. I know the fans love it, so we just got to keep going."

The Silver and Black will stay on the road to take on the Detroit Lions on Monday night, Oct. 30, at 8:15 p.m. EDT/5:15 p.m. PDT.
