The NFL has revealed the top 10 in the annual list of the top 100 players in the league as voted on by players and Las Vegas Raiders star edge rusher Maxx Crosby landed in the highest spot he ever has on the list.
On Friday night, the Raiders revealed that Crosby has landed at No. 10, marking the third time he has made the cut. The ranking is also the highest he has ever received. In 2023, Crosby landed at No. 17 on the list.
The honor is well-deserved for Crosby, who has become one of the league's premier defenders and pass-rushers over the past two seasons.
The Eastern Michigan product is coming off an impressive campaign in which he tallied a personal best 14.5 sacks and earned his third-straight Pro Bowl nod. Crosby's 27 sacks the past two seasons ranks tied for fourth in the league in that span.

Crosby wasn't the only Raiders player to make the cut on this year's list, as both wide receiver Davante Adams and defensive lineman Christian Wilkins were also included. Adams came in at No. 40, and Wilkins landed at No. 58.
Looking ahead to 2024, Crosby is primed to have yet another career-best season. Not only does he have 2023 breakout player Malcolm Koonce lining up across from him to help take pressure off, Crosby also has the help of Wilkins. Adding to those two, the Raiders' secondary should offer a bit more time to get after the quarterback.
