Recent Production
Crosby’s 2025 campaign featured 73 total tackles, 10 sacks and two forced fumbles across 15 games. Those numbers surpassed his output the season prior and contributed to his inclusion among the league’s elite pass-rushers, despite the Raiders finishing with only three victories.

Crosby’s Personal Reaction
Crosby used his own social-media platform to issue a brief three-word challenge, indicating that he views the ranking as motivation to elevate his performance further. He signaled that “more is required” to improve on the current standing.
What’s Next
The Raiders will open their preseason slate with a Thursday night game against the Arizona Cardinals at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The matchup offers an early opportunity for Crosby to translate his offseason motivation into on-field impact as the team prepares for a regular-season kickoff in mid-September.
