Raiders DE Maxx Crosby on QB Jimmy Garoppolo: ‘He’s a dog’

It didn’t take long for Jimmy Garoppolo to win over his teammates in Las Vegas. The Raiders have completed one training camp practice and it appears that he already has the full support of the team.

Maxx Crosby spoke about Garoppolo after practice on Wednesday, expressing how excited he is to play with him this season. Here is a snippet of what the top defensive player on the Raiders had to say about his new quarterback via Vic Tafur of The Athletic:

He’s a competitive dude. I love him. He’s a dog, and I am not just saying that because he is my quarterback — there are certain guys that are dogs, and he is definitely one of them.

One of the biggest reasons Garoppolo has had success wherever he’s played is due to his chemistry with his teammates. They love him and his leadership bleeds through everywhere in the locker room.

Garoppolo isn’t as physically talented as Derek Carr, but his infectious personality and leadership ability has helped him win at every level. And by Crosby’s quotes, it appears he’s already won over the locker room in Las Vegas.
