Nobody can ever say that Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby doesn’t have his teammates’ backs.
Crosby took to X on Monday to defend his teammate and Raiders quarterback, Geno Smith, who was recently involved in what appears to be a shouting match with someone at a youth football game.
Video emerged online that showed Smith yelling at someone while on the sideline at a youth football game. It isn’t clear if Smith was just talking trash or simply responding to someone who was.
Smith has since addressed the video and downplayed the significance of what it showed.
“Having fun with the game I love but man, the need for clicks and negativity takes away from the great event that happened this past weekend,” he said. “All the kids had fun and competed. All around great event. This is how we talk in Dade county I’m sorry (you) might not understand. Carry on!”

As the video made it rounds on social media, Crosby caught wind of it and his quarterback’s response and had this to say:
“You don’t have to explain nothing to nobody brother,” Crosby said. “F*** ’em all… That’s my QB.”
Smith later responded to Crosby’s tweet with two “crossed fingers” emojis.
Smith is in his first season with the Raiders after being acquired via trade with the Seattle Seahawks.
The veteran signal-caller has already made a huge impact on the team’s culture, with head coach Pete Carroll calling him a “natural leader.”
