NFL star shows off huge chest tattoo including Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan
Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby has shown off a new tattoo which has immortalized some of the world’s biggest sports stars.
Crosby is getting ready for his fifth season in the NFL with the Raiders, after being drafted in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft with the 106th overall pick. The 25-year-old was selected for his second Pro-Bowl last season and will be looking for another impressive year in Vegas.
The defensive end already had a sizable collection of tattoos, and now that has increased. This time his latest piece of ink is across his entire torso, going from just below his neck to his waist.
Crosby went to Ortega Ink, a private tattoo studio located in Phoenix, Arizona. Tattoo artist Andreas Ortega, founder of the studio, posted a video as well as an image of the tattoo.
The video showed the tattoo’s final details being completed on Crosby’s chest. The impressive artwork features some iconic sporting names from multiple eras, including Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

Ali is widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time, while the same can be applied to both Jordan and Bryant in the world of basketball. The drawings of the stars join other forms of artwork in the tattoo, including words featuring ‘Be Legendary’ as well as the number ‘98’ in reference to Crosby’s jersey number for the Raiders.
The tattoo also features two jewels in the middle of Crosby’s chest, as well as several flowers. Crosby also has a tattoo of his young child as part of the artwork.
Ortega posted a photo of the impressive artwork once it was completed on his Instagram page. He accompanied the post with the caption: “‘BE LEGENDARY’ front panel full tattoo,” while adding several hashtags before adding: “Always my team @onder_ink.”

Crosby will be resting up ahead of the 2023 regular season with a return for NFL training camps later this summer. The Raiders begin their season with the Week One opener against the Denver Broncos on September 10.
