Crosby's stock has been on the rise since a strong showing at the Senior Bowl. A broken left foot caused him to miss most of his junior year in 2016.
"I like to make myself known on the field," Crosby said via the Palm Beach Post. "Off the field, I'm extremely quiet and keep to myself, but when I get out there I want to be the best player on the field. I like to get after it. I like to finish people and be aggressive. I really finish people, then I fall on top of them so they know I'm out there."
NFL.com projects Crosby as a second- or third-round pick in next month's draft.
Lance Zierlein of NFL Media, who compares Crosby to Jermey Parnell, had the following to say in his scouting report:
"Crosby won't be a favorite of evaluators looking for a pretty tackle who wins with athleticism and technique, but he will appeal to teams who covet size, length and strength as he puts big checkmarks in those boxes. Crosby is a bulldozing right tackle prospect who can generate good movement in the run game, but he still needs to prove he has enough foot quickness and technique to sit on an island and handle quality pass rushers. He has NFL starting talent but his draft stock will be strongly influenced by how he performs at the Senior Bowl and Combine."
