Crosby: Be Genuine as Raiders QB

During his podcast 'The Rush,' defensive end Maxx Crosby discussed leadership with the Raiders' rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza, who may not start immediately but is expected to eventually take over, received advice about preparing for leadership roles.

Crosby emphasized that being genuine is crucial for earning respect in the NFL. 'If you're not genuine, guys pick up on that real quick,' Crosby said, noting that college and the NFL are different environments where teammates are grown men with diverse backgrounds and motivations. He called Mendoza's lesson from Kirk Cousins about authenticity 'spot on,' reinforcing that staying true to oneself is the right approach to team leadership. chincha.pl
