Maxx Crosby Stands Out in Boston Jersey Before Raiders vs. Patriots

Maxx Crosby, a standout player for the Las Vegas Raiders, arrived at Gillette Stadium on Sunday morning dressed in a white Larry Bird Boston Celtics jersey, attracting attention before the team's Week 5 matchup against the New England Patriots.

The jersey choice, featuring the number 33, linked Crosby, known for his defensive prowess, to one of Boston's most iconic athletes. Bird, a Hall of Famer, led the Celtics to three championships and earned multiple MVP awards during his career.

While Crosby's outfit was seen as a tribute to Bird, the focus will shift to his performance on the field. As a key player on the Raiders' defense, Crosby has a contract worth $106.5 million, with significant guarantees. He has recorded 25 pressures and three sacks in the first four games of the season. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged the challenge Crosby presents, emphasizing the need for the team to track him closely during the game.
