Watching Maxx Crosby hunt quarterbacks is like a watching a bird of prey, soaring high above, circling its dinner.
At the NFL Scouting Combine in 2019, Maxx Crosby measured a wingspan of 81 inches and in his rookie campaign he used that length to leverage his opponents at the line of scrimmage and engulf signal callers in his wings.
It also inspired NFL analyst Brian Baldinger to nickname the Raiders defensive end "The Condor."
It's hard to conceive now, but for a long time, Crosby's length was viewed as a hinderance, not as a positive. Analysts reported his body was underdeveloped, was all arms and legs – which honestly made me laugh when I read that – and noted his slow movements because of his size. The overall analysis? "[Crosby] needs a year or two of bulking up before he's ready to see the field."
Baldinger was among the first to see these knocks against Crosby and understand them as his strength. On Monday morning, Baldinger tweeted a 10-minute clip highlighting all of Crosby's best plays from the season, and broke down every snap, including a key forced fumble in Indianapolis.
