Jon Gruden emotional over Raiders gift from Crosby

Jon Gruden, the former head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, received an emotional surprise from player Maxx Crosby. Gruden, who has a deep connection with the Raiders, shared that Crosby sent him a box of Raiders gear that brought him to tears. He expressed his gratitude on social media, saying, “There’s truly nothing better than wearing the silver and black.” Gruden praised Crosby, calling him one of his favorite players. He has not coached in the NFL since resigning in 2021 amid controversy. The 61-year-old has since taken a role at Barstool Sports. His coaching record stands at 117 wins and 112 losses, including a Super Bowl win in 2002 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gruden reflected on the Raiders’ recent struggles but expressed optimism for the team's future. The Raiders ended last season with a disappointing 4-13 record. With new head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith, Gruden feels positive about the upcoming season. The Raiders are looking forward to the NFL Draft, where they hold the sixth pick. They hope to improve their roster significantly. Fans will have to wait and see how the team performs in the new season.
