Raiders' Crosby named Eastern Michigan assistant GM

Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby has been named Eastern Michigan's assistant general manager for football, the school announced Monday.

"There is no place more important to my personal and athletic development than Eastern Michigan University," Crosby said in a statement released by the school.

Crosby tallied 20 sacks, 42 tackles for loss, and eight forced fumbles in 37 appearances across three seasons with the MAC program. He was selected in the fourth round of the 2019 draft after his standout college career.

"Maxx Crosby's return to EMU in this leadership role is a transformative moment for our football program," director of athletics Scott Wetherbee raved.

The school will also rename its depth chart for the weak-side defensive end position from "LEO" to "MAXX," and the team's top edge rusher will wear Crosby's No. 92.

Eastern Michigan finished the 2024 season with a 5-7 record. The program made three consecutive bowl game appearances from 2021-23. The Eagles defeated San Jose State to win the Potato Bowl in 2022.

Crosby has posted 59.5 sacks, 105 tackles for loss, 144 quarterback hits, and nine forced fumbles in 95 career games with the Raiders. He signed a three-year, $106.5-million extension with Las Vegas in March.
