Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby making the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026 list is no surprise. It as just a question of where he landed. Even with his share of obstacles last season, Crosby put forth a showing that maintained his status as one of the game’s best.
Crosby comes in at No. 24 overall on this year’s NFL Top 100 list
. Here's what Jeremy Bergman had to say about the Raiders' edge rusher.”After a whirlwind offseason in which Crosby was still a Raider despite trade rumors, then briefly a Raven but not really, and then a Raider again, the pass rusher is back where he started: in Las Vegas and the top 25 of the Top 100. Before Crosby's winter of discontent, the Raiders star earned his fifth straight Pro Bowl nod after a fourth
career 10-sack season. It was par for the course for The Condor.”

Crosby, the former two-time NFL tackles for loss leader, recorded a career-high 28 TFL in 2025, though he did not lead the league last season. He also picked up the first interception of his career last season. Those factors tell the story of a season that saw Crosby be a disruptor on the edge and play like a top 25 player in the league.
