Michael Crabtree Scouting Report

Known for his  physicality, Michael Crabtree plays like a sledgehammer with legs. Especially physical when the ball is in the air, shows good awareness of the sidelines, uses his body to wall of defenders from the ball. Extremely productive in college (1,100 yards and 12 touchdowns last year). Superb hands, very reliable even in clutch situations. Tough, willing to play with minor injuries. Excellent at gaining additional yardage after the catch.

Lacks elite speed, displays poor ball protection, some injury concerns.

Overall, top 10 pick.

  1. The Ghostwriter says:

    Crabtree is a beast. In addition to being a polished route runner, he also reads the defense for soft spots better than any other receiver in this draft.

    That being said, man, it’s still hard to watch that game-winning play against UT last year.

  2. David says:

    He sure is a great route runner. the only guy worthy of matching him in that department may be Hakeem Nicks?

    Im sure youre tire of seeing all the crabtree highlights showing him beat texas then? They are always showing that play!
