Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby keeps a close eye on what is happening in the rest of the sports world. He is constantly interacting, both in person and on social media, with big names from other sports like the NBA's James Harden or UFC's Dana White.
It should come as no surprise then that Crosby is a supporter of McNeese State men's basketball and their viral student manager Amir Khan. After their upset victory on Thursday over the Clemson Tigers in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Crosby posted a message on social media in support of Khan and the McNeese State Cowboys.
"YESSSSIR," wrote Crosby in a post on X, responding to a celebratory picture of Khan.
McNeese State is a small college located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, that has taken college basketball by storm in recent weeks. Khan himself became famous during the Southland Conference men's basketball tournament after a video of him leading the team out of the tunnel before the game went viral.
Players adorned Khan with jewelry and a boom box and celebrated him as he sang along with the team to popular rap songs by Louisiana-based artists. The Cowboys are seemingly a tight-knit group, and Khan is right at the center of it, even after signing brand deals with big companies like Buffalo Wild Wings and Insomnia Cookies.
After winning on Thursday, McNeese State will now look to pull off another victory against the upset-prone Purdue Boilermakers. It's safe to say that the Raiders' Maxx Crosby will be pulling for that to happen.
