Maxx Crosby wants to leave a sack-filled NFL legacy

Raiders All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby sets aside time for some Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby. Q: How would you characterize your on-field mentality? A: That’s my purest state, I would say.When I’m on the field, I’m a completely different person.

… King of the jungle, a lion on attack, however you want to put it: That’s the killer side of me.I get to let out everything that’s inside of me and really hunt, and there’s no better feeling.

And anytime you get a fourth-quarter sack and close the game, there’s nothing better than that. Q: Have you sacked Aaron Rodgers? A: Yes, I sacked Aaron Rodgers my rookie year at Lambeau [Field].Q: What was that like for you? A: That was amazing.I got it in the first quarter, going against a really good left tackle, got a sack and then I put the belt on after I sacked him.

Then I found out I kind of learned my lesson being a rookie.I was a young kid, I didn’t...
