The quarterback and wide receiver positions in the NFL seem to get all the attention these days, as they are arguably the most entertaining players to watch on a weekly basis during the season.
However, pass rushers have become more and more of an exciting position to watch, with players emerging as superstars and becoming household names for the incredible moves they make when going after the quarterback.
Even though the league recently lost one of the best pass rushers in the game, Los Angeles Rams superstar Aaron Donald, the NFL is still filled with talented players who give quarterbacks nightmares.
During the most recent Sack Summit, hosted by two-time Super Bowl champion Von Miller, former offensive lineman and current NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger was asked via The Rush Podcast who is the scariest pass rusher to block in the league right now.
“Mad Maxx,” Baldinger said. “The Condor, man, like, there’s nothing he can’t do. Whatever I take away from him, he’s got a counter to it.”

Over the past few years, even though the Las Vegas Raiders have been a struggling franchise with many off-the-field distractions, defensive end Maxx Crosby has become one of the best players in the NFL at his position while wreaking havoc on the defensive side of the football for the Silver and Black.
Fortunately for the Raiders, Crosby has become such a menace that he’s in the running for NFL Defensive Player of the Year every season and might win one or two of those awards before he calls it a career.
