Maxx Crosby Shares Excitement for Raiders’ Future Under Coach Pete Carroll

Maxx Crosby, the standout defensive end for the Las Vegas Raiders, is brimming with optimism regarding the team’s future, especially with Pete Carroll taking over as head coach. The energy surrounding the new coaching regime has Crosby feeling enthusiastic about what lies ahead for the Raiders.

Crosby’s Perspective on the Future

Speaking with Fox News Digital during Radio Row in New Orleans ahead of Super Bowl LIX, Crosby expressed his eagerness not just to attend the event, but to be an active participant one day.

Championship Experience Matters

Carroll, who secured a Super Bowl championship with the Seattle Seahawks and won two national championships at the collegiate level, brings a wealth of experience that Crosby believes the Raiders urgently need.

“I think it’s pretty straightforward: He’s done it. He’s done it many times at both levels, college and the NFL,” Crosby commented. His endorsement of Carroll comes as part of a broader narrative about the team’s direction. He emphasized, “For me, I’m an optimistic person. I want to be a winner. I want a chance to win. From everything I’ve seen so far, it’s been encouraging.” With a focused mindset, Crosby is eager to see how the upcoming season unfolds.

Carroll’s Positive Influence

Crosby has felt Carroll’s impact on the Raiders organization almost immediately. He described the head coach’s energy as “infectious,” underscoring the importance of having a positive atmosphere.

“Every conversation I’ve had with him has been awesome,” Crosby remarked. “All energy all the time, my type of person. At the end of the day, you’ve got to have fun with what we do. You know what I mean? We’re modern-day gladiators. We’re going out there—car crashes every single Sunday. That’s the reality. So, you have to enjoy your job. You’ve got to be excited to come into the building every morning and go to work.”

Carroll’s Enthusiastic Approach to Coaching

Describing Carroll’s enthusiasm for returning to the NFL, Crosby shared an anecdote illustrating the lively environment cultivated under Carroll’s leadership.

“It’s about team, it’s about culture, it’s about competing,” Crosby emphasized. He noted the casual interactions within the organization, mentioning how Carroll even provided speakers to staff, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a college fraternity house. “There’s music bumping all the time and stuff. I love that. That’s how I am,” he added.

Energy as a Cornerstone of Success

Crosby believes that maintaining high energy levels is crucial for team success. “Energy’s got to be right and correct, and I feel like that leads to success when the work is behind it. He’s proven his whole life that he can win and knows how to win. It’s exciting,” Crosby stated. His perspective reflects a broader understanding of how teamwork and collaboration can lead to victories on the field.

Partnership with SAXX Underwear

Maxx Crosby’s partnership with SAXX Underwear has also been a point of pride. The alignment with the brand resonates with him, given their mutual commitment to supporting the next generation of athletes through NIL (name, image, likeness) deals.

“Just the alignment from top to bottom, how much they poured into what I believe in,” he said of SAXX. Crosby highlighted the importance of giving back to programs he cares about, such as those at Eastern Michigan and UNLV. “And the best underwear in the game, period. I wear it every single day, and we aligned in many ways. They’ve been incredible,” he concluded, showcasing his passion for both his sport and his endorsements.

Embracing a Bright Future

As the Raiders gear up for the upcoming season, Maxx Crosby’s positive outlook reflects a broader hope that Coach Pete Carroll will lead the team toward success. With a combination of Carroll’s experience and student-athlete focus, the Raiders have an opportunity to evolve and thrive in the competitive landscape of the NFL. Crosby’s words echo a sentiment of anticipation and determination as the team embarks on this new chapter.
