No matter what team you root for, you really can’t help but be happy for the Raiders’ Maxx Crosby right now.
He just signed a four-year, $95 million extension with the Raiders that will keep the defensive end in Las Vegas for the foreseeable future, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. That’s a pretty cool thing. But that’s not the kicker here.
The best part about all of this is that March 11, 2020 was the day that Crosby became sober. He’d embarked on a journey to battle his alcohol addiction on that day.
He actually got a tattoo to commemorate the day. He posted it to Twitter to share his journey with everyone.
