The former Stanford football star’s death shocked the NFL world, even getting a heartfelt homage from former teammate Maxx Crosby.
“I can’t believe I have to do this right now,” Crosby said in a video. “I’m sick to my stomach to be honest. But my guy Josh Mauro just passed away recently. Damn bro, I really don’t have words. I love you, bro, and I wish I could’ve done more for you. I wish I could’ve been there for you. It’s just tough man.”
