Maxx Crosby has made a historic return to his alma mater, Eastern Michigan University, as the newly appointed assistant general manager. This landmark move is unprecedented for an NFL player and reflects a growing trend of athletes actively engaging with their former colleges. Crosby, who continues to play for the Las Vegas Raiders, expressed his commitment to recruiting top talent, particularly edge rushers, to the Eagles through his social media channels.

In tribute to Crosby's legacy, the coaching staff has rebranded the weakside DE position to 'The MAXX' and awarded the starting player with jersey number 92, which he wore during his college days. Crosby's engagement includes mentoring young athletes and contributing to the program's development, marking a significant full-circle moment that could attract elite players to Eastern Michigan.
