"The first thing that jumps out is 2023. Crosby was an absolute problem for offenses that season. Fourteen and a half sacks. Ninety tackles. Twenty-three tackles for loss. Defensive linemen don't put up numbers like that very often, but Crosby is pretty consistent in that category."
"When people talk about Maxx Crosby declining the season, I found that it looks like all the snaps caught up to him in 2024. That season he finished with 7.5 sacks. At first glance, I agree, it does look like a big drop-off, but there's a big piece of context attached to that stat not being talked about. He only played twelve games."
"Maxx Crosby lives in the backfield and the offensive lines have to account for him every single snap, and unlike most defensive ends, he is in the game for the majority of the snaps."
Maxx Crosby's statistics from 2022-2025 reveal that concerns about his decline are largely unfounded. His 2023 season was exceptional with 14.5 sacks, 90 tackles, and 23 tackles for loss. The 2024 season appeared to show a significant drop to 7.5 sacks, but this decline correlates directly with missing five games due to injury. When accounting for games missed, the statistical dip becomes expected rather than alarming. The 2025 season returned Crosby to his established performance level, particularly with 28 tackles for loss, demonstrating his continued dominance in the backfield. Crosby remains a consistent, elite defensive end who plays the majority of snaps and commands offensive line attention every play.
