Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby talks to Fox News Digital about President Donald Trump in New Orleans ahead of Super Bowl LIX.

NEW ORLEANS – President Trump is expected to be heading down to the Big Easy for Super Bowl LIX, and Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby expects nothing less from the man he came to know through sports. 

Trump has been spotted at numerous sporting events over the years, including NFL games, UFC fights and more. 

Crosby, who was on radio row in New Orleans on behalf of SAXX Underwear, spoke to Fox News Digital about meeting the president and how they've built a relationship since then.

"He’s a huge sports fan in general," Crosby said. "I’ve been to UFC events with him, sat and watched fights with him in the back, and he’s like one of us. That’s just his personality. 

"Having a guy like that leading is incredible, and [he’s] being a part of everyday life. It’s not like you don’t see him anywhere. He’s out with people, which is awesome to see."

Crosby touched on feeling safe in New Orleans, especially considering the terror attack on historic Bourbon Street on New Year's Day. Having upwards of 100,000 people traveling to the city, let alone the president eventually making his way to Caesars Superdome for the "Big Game," has led to increased security measures that create an environment sports fans can enjoy.
