On this episode of Comeback Stories, Darren & Donny are joined by Raiders Pro Bowl DE Maxx Crosby. Maxx starts by describing how he grew up extremely insecure as a child and had a singular focus in chasing his dream of being an NFL star. He then talks about how alcoholism overpowered that strong will and almost took everything away at the height of his early NFL career.Maxx speaks about the support he's received to stay the course and how those loved ones have inspired him to stay sober for over two years now. He also describes to how a day-to-day approach in getting sober gave him both the structure & perspective to amplify his leadership on the field.Follow Maxx Here:https://twitter.com/CrosbyMaxxHave a question or topic for our next show?
