Summary
Keyron Crawford began his career at Arkansas State and impressed enough in 2023 to draw Auburn’s attention, where he spent the past two seasons. After a quiet 2024 as a reserve, Crawford posted a career-high 43 pressures this past fall in an expanded role. His ability to win quickly is his calling card. Despite a modest sack total, he still finished with double-digit quarterback hits. He’s a plus athlete who flashes high-end ability, even if it wasn’t sustained throughout his tape.
About
- 2025: Seventh-most pressures in SEC (43)
- 2023: Blocked a field goal at Arkansas State
Strengths
- Twitchy throughout his frame; explosive get-off and quick hands.
- Can freeze tackles at the top of the rush with a euro step.
- Bends the edge at the top of the pocket back to the quarterback.
Weaknesses
- Plays around blocks rather than through them.
- Shorter arms for his frame make it harder to win consistently.
- Struggles to finish; slips off too many tackles.

Raiders' Keyron Crawford: Grabbed by Raiders
The Raiders selected Crawford in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 67th overall.
Crawford spent the final two seasons of his collegiate career at Auburn but didn't emerge as a starter until 2025, when he totaled 35 tackles, including 5.0 sacks and 9.5 tackles for a loss, one forced fumble and one pass defensed (including one INT). As a rookie, he figures to compete for reps at 3-4 outside linebacker, making Crawford a developmental pass-rushing prospect behind Maxx Crosby, Kwity Paye and Malcolm Koonce.
