Trevor Lawrence Discusses Maxx Crosby’s Impact
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence took the time on Wednesday to reflect on the challenges posed by Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby. As the Jaguars prepare for their matchup against the Raiders, Lawrence’s insights provide a glimpse into the respect he holds for Crosby’s abilities on the field.
Recognizing Crosby’s Skill Set
During the media session, Lawrence praised Crosby, highlighting his relentless work ethic and athleticism. “Really good player. Very good,” he remarked. “He’s one of those guys; there’s a handful of them in this league.”
Lawrence elaborated on what sets Crosby apart from other defensive players. He noted Crosby’s “high motor,” which allows him to consistently make plays. While many defenders possess talent, it is Crosby’s effort that truly stands out.
“It’s not always that he’s just winning right away,” Lawrence explained. “He has plenty of those on tape, too, but it’s the effort to chase the ball, to go after it, to cause fumbles, to tip balls in the air.” This relentless pursuit is what Lawrence believes makes Crosby a formidable opponent.
Game Planning with Crosby in Mind
As the Jaguars prepare for their upcoming game, Lawrence emphasized the importance of considering Crosby in their game plan. “As you can tell, we have a lot of respect for him,” he stated, underscoring that Crosby’s presence on the field requires careful preparation from the Jaguars’ coaching staff.
In a league filled with talent, Crosby’s combination of skill, strength, and tenacity makes him a player that Lawrence and the Jaguars will be keenly focused on as they aim for success in this critical matchup.
As the Jaguars gear up for the game, Lawrence’s recognition of Crosby serves as a reminder of the respect athletes hold for one another, regardless of the competition on the field.
