Who Is Raiders Star Maxx Crosby’s Wife Rachel Washburn?

<p id=”par-1_23″>After playing his college ball with Eastern Michigan University, Maxx Crosby was selected by the then-Oakland Raiders in the fourth round of the 2019 <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/nfl/”>NFL</a> Draft. </p>

<p id=”par-2_82″>The defensive end had an immediate impact on the team. In a game against the Cincinnati Bengals, his four sacks were the most made in a single game by a rookie in franchise history and the most by a Raider in a single game since 2015. He’s been selected to the Pro Bowl multiple times and has become one of the most-feared defensive players in <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/sports/”>the league</a> as <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/what-is-kansas-city-chiefs-quarterback-patrick-mahomes-ethnicity.html/”>quarterback Patrick Mahomes</a> once said, “He’s right at the top of the list.” </p>

<p id=”par-3_53″>Perhaps Crosby was made to play the position of a huge figure chasing down his opponents. After all his sheer size when was born, weighing 11lbs & 9oz, is the reason he has a second x in his name as his mother added an x when she delivered an extra large baby. </p>

<p id=”par-4_39″>As great as Crosby is on the field he’s winning off the field too with the love and support from his wife, who he says he wouldn’t be where he is today without. Here’s more about Rachel Washburn. </p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-when-crosby-and-washburn-met-and-got-married”>When Crosby and Washburn met and got married</h2>

<p id=”par-5_41″>Washburn was born on June 13, 1995, in Hartland, Michigan, to parents Mark and Trisha. She has two siblings — a sister Ashley and a brother Chad. Washburn and Crosby met in 2016 when they were both students at EMU. </p>

<p id=”par-6_35″>As she told <a href=”https://people.com/who-is-rachel-crosby-maxx-crosby-wife-8714833″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a> they were friends for a while before they began dating. She recalled: “We went to Masa, this Mexican restaurant. We became really good friends and started to date two months later.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_45″>Their relationship hit a rough patch and they split up for a bit when Crosby struggled with alcoholism. The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-athletes/”>football player</a> reached out to Washburn at his lowest point and she immediately packed her bags and headed to Vegas to be by his side. </p>
