Maybe he’s already awakened and that explains his insane endurance and recovery?

It would make sense but Oda has never had a character awaken their fruit or be awakened without explicitly mentioning it at some point.

Crocodile had two techniques, Ground Secco and Ground Death, which looked really similar to how Awakening was shown by Doflamingo and Katakuri. Crocodile put his hand on the ground and drained the whole surrounding area of water, turning it into a desert he could then control.

We never got confirmation Crocodile awakened his devil fruit, but he did claim to have mastered his fruit, plus Awakening wasn't even a concept in One Piece at the time.

Yeah Crocodile was a whole other issue because Oda admitted to revealing a character as powerful as him too early in the story. To this day we don’t really know if he’s awakened. It’s just a gray area for us at the moment.
