let me remind any haters there might be, he's been playing most of the season with a bad ankle! He's hurt, yet still nobody can cover him. He's going to be amazing in the NFL. Nobody thought wess welker would be any good, but I knew what type of player he could be, and would be. Crabtree is going to be the best receiver out of Tech in history, and he'll be top 5 playing in the NFL in his 3rd season. Mark my words!
Oh BTW I love this song. When I graduated from basic they played this when we got pined. Rob D_Clubbed to death. Its from the first Matrix sound track.
He's helped by the system, but he's definitely not just a product of one. That guy can flat out play. Probably the best returning receiver in the country. He might've been the best receiver in the nation last year.
The thing this video reminded me is how good Crabtree is with the ball in his hands- half these plays were short routes that he turned into monster gains. Great wideout.
This guy is the real deal!!! Thanks to all 9 teams that passed him up including the Raiders. Remember our great Niners WR's (Dwight Clark, Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens) didn't have speed ala Crabtree, who will dominate for sho. Give him 2 yrs. to develop and he will be an All Pro/Pro Bowler! All haters just wait & see you'll know what I mean. Go NIners!!!! For those who think we don't have a QB in Shaun Hill, just ask Isaac Bruce who did pretty good last season with him at QB.
Vernon Davis was averaging 16 ypc last year and was just shy of 1k, last year he was down to 11.8 ypc and down to 792 yards, less tds and 3 fumbles, which shows that they are relying shorter routes and yac. They ran the ball 500 times last year, its a ball control offense to compliment the defense, Crabtree had almost 400 yards after the catch. The year before they ran it 400 times and 371 times in 09.
I'm a niners fan and this dude is a baller. Came off the street and is their best receiver. He was involved in two turnovers yesterday but he is going to be a stud.
I really can't agree. Only one other D1 WR ever caught more touchdowns in a single season, had more yards in a season and more receptions in a season... and Crabtree did that all as a freshman. Bess never had had 134 receptions in a season, 1962 yards in a season, or 22 touchdowns in a season. Harrell and crabtree did something last year that was unreal, and this year they are winning games. I think the case is good that they're better.
Sure any receiver can go in there and run a route but Crabtree finds space extremely well and makes incredible plays when the ball is in the air or in his hands. He earns those stats
From what I make of it. Crabtree is excellent after the catch. We only need to implement him as a package receiver or in the flanker, to win later in the year. Right now is the time for the 49ers Faithful. It is the hardest part of the schedule. I want Winners!!!
The guy has TREMENDOUS hands and somehow always finds a way to be open, EVEN when he is blanketed by defenders. When the ball is in his hands he is very elusive and when you are actually able to get your hands on him he is extremely tough to bring down because he is also very strong. You also have to see that he is very good gametime speed. It wasn't on here bu if you watch the UT game he burned the entire UT defense on a slant. Desean Jackson is a good special teams guy but thats about it
Man iam a big raider fan and up until this video I was really hoping that we would get him saturday, But now i realize that macklin is way better, crab never really breaks away in any of these shots except against weak ass rice. and all the DBs hes facing are so weak. thanks for the post bro
I'm not a Lions fan but imagine if they drafed Crabtree with the no.1 pick and then used the Boys pick to draft Stafford, they might end up having one of the most prolific pass attacks in the NFL.
Hell ...... for all you 49ers and Crabtree haters!!!!!!!!...... Fitzgerald isn't all the fast either, BUT yet his one of the best WR in the game today NO QUESTION about that......and I'm a 49ERS FAN!!!!!
betsuki89 why do people say we need a new QB, he is accurate, fast in the pocket, elusive, smart, and willing to give all of himself for a first down "head first dive into defenders without a helmet". What else do you want from a QB? We are in the age of the long bomb, so if someone doesn't do it we assume he is no good. Go back and look at the films, Joe Montana himself rarely through the long ball, they ran the west coast, there was no need for it, and we're running it again this year.
im a 49ers fan, but love USC. plus, im am in college right now. plus, the only reason desean went to Cal was because of we already had great receivers.
I wondered who the 9ers would draft if Crabtree was not available. It sucks knowing our team wasted a first round pick. The only thing that made me feel better is that we won our first game without him.
Sold! Detractors think every NFL route is 40 yards in a straight friggin line. They chirp about him not having the full NFL tree....like somehow he doesnt have the intellectual depth OR time to learn it at his age,LOL. The spread showcased his abilities, not inhibited them. Teams will eventually have to scheme against him before gameday, not just roll safety help on certain downs like Maclin.
Michael crabtree the former red raider is going to the raiders. Sept 14 is Crabtrees birthday where he will dominate the the chargers on his nfl debut on MNF. GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that's what people said when they had roy williams and calvin johnson...even stafford can't do anything to help them if they don't have a dominate offensive line. and that's what they need in order to be dominate.
testament to how much time that offensive line gave harrell to find crabtree. The highlight shows a few broken plays and ALOT of blown coverages, the ones that were by design says more about harrell's timing and accuracy than it doesn about crabtree's game. Seriously, ive never seen a more overhyped receiver than crabtree. Rate me down if you want, but Ive been a football fan for 30 years and nothing about this highlight impresses me. Did you know the undrafted teammate of Crabtree's Amendola
yea...he may not be too fast but trust, If he can run his routes the way their drawn up he wont have much of a problem in the league. He's got size, strength and hands. Great weapon 4 frisco.
taking a wide receiver in the first round makes sense because when you have Alex Smith you need more than one good wideout. Oh yeah, did you hear about his acl injury that he was playing through last year? gee I wonder if that had anything to do with his performance.
If I had to choose 6 receivers to play on one team for Tech it would be this: Michael Crabtee Joel Filani Wes Welker Jarrett Hicks Robert Johnson Detron Lewis This receiving core would be unstoppable.
well i'm sure it could happen but crabtree is gonna be out untill i think week 7 so they'll have to play extra hard untill then but maybe yall can do it though, i'm not gonna doubt it though because a team isn't only about one person
Top 5 places Crabtree might end up:(in no order) Oakland Seattle Houston St. Louis San Francisco All of these teams outside of St. Louis need either a number 2 or number 1 receiver and are close enough to the top of the first round to either wait for him to fall to them or trade up.
Actually Tech's system is pretty simple. Probably the most simple offense there is. I coach and a friend of mine played receiver for them a few years ago. It looks like a complicated "high-flying" offense but it's really just a handful of plays with given checks based on the coverage..which should be easy for any D1 starting player.
Bruce has had one good game this season, a 74 yard game in week one with 50 of those yards coming off one deep ball. He is not the player he even was last year. Your wrong, he was Hill's favorite target he just isn't getting the job done. Singletary even hinted that he might pull him from the starting lineup later in the season. Crabtree came off the street and his two games were better than any two of Bruce's combined. Owned.
Hill is not the strongest or the fastest, but he is a smart QB who can manage the game. Singletary is going to run the ball with Gore. Having Crabtree, Jason Hill, and Vernon Davis will stretch the field for our running game. Gore faced 8 MEN IN THE BOX all the time and still got yards. Lets see teams do that to defend Gore with our improved WR core
the crabtree/harrell duo is pretty amazing. As good as crabtree is though, i think harrell is a big reason that he is so successful. He has great hands, sure, but it seems like it is hard for him to make the big plays downfield (not to say that he doesn't). probably because of his size. But hey, he's still got a couple years ahead of him, so he'll most likely improve a lot.
He needs to have a sit down with patrick willis who signed his rookie contract for 5 years 16.7 Million and he quickly became the nfls premiere linebacker should be making 16 mil a season but you dont hear him complaining he lets his game speak because he knows the big contract is coming.
What no one understands is that a WR can't be a product of the system. Sure Tech passes a lot, probably more than any other team, but when we often have 4 WR's in the formation and play at least 8 per game, the product retort becomes irrelevant, due to how much skill Crabtree has regardless and he has to compete with 7 other WR's for catches.
His yards after the catch ability is just amazing. I love when a WR makes that extra effort to get those extra yards.
let me remind any haters there might be, he's been playing most of the season with a bad ankle! He's hurt, yet still nobody can cover him. He's going to be amazing in the NFL. Nobody thought wess welker would be any good, but I knew what type of player he could be, and would be.

This Guy Could Be one of the Best Slot Receiver of ALL TIME (.)
what makes Crabtree so sick is how he breaks tackles and keeps going after he catches the football. the Texas game is proof of that.
The new jersey color is hella throwback. GO NINERS! GREAT 1ST ROUND PICK!
crabtree is a good strong reciever, strong hands, runs good routes, good ball skills, n good size. i wish he stayed another year though but owell
The thing this video reminded me is how good Crabtree is with the ball in his hands- half these plays were short routes that he turned into monster gains. Great wideout.
Man, Darrius and Michael are going to be in competition for the rest of their NFL careers.
This guy is the real deal!!! Thanks to all 9 teams that passed him up including the Raiders.

3:34-4:44 wow
micheal crabtree is so impressive on those slant aroutes in the redzone
49ers FAN FOR LIFE! PAY THE MAN LETS GO!!!!!
I really can't agree. Only one other D1 WR ever caught more touchdowns in a single season, had more yards in a season and more receptions in a season... and Crabtree did that all as a freshman.

good video. it gave me goosebumps the whole time. im definately ready for red raider football to be back in season.
Crabtree's a beast!!
hello Fred Blinkoff award..
he'll get it every year he plays college ball.
hes a beast, amazing plays. great vid, nice job
Sure any receiver can go in there and run a route but Crabtree finds space extremely well and makes incredible plays when the ball is in the air or in his hands. He earns those stats

RAAAAIIIIIDDDDEEEERRRRSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This Saturday...can't wait.
The guy has TREMENDOUS hands and somehow always finds a way to be open, EVEN when he is blanketed by defenders.

Desean Jackson is a good special teams guy but thats about it
if any receiver ever deserved the heisman it is him the best reviver in a long time
I agree 100%. He is the best receiver out of all those tight play makers you mentioned.
crabtree will kick ass in the NFL. Gore, crabtree, bruce, now just need a decent QB.
Thanks for the upload man, can't wait til this season starts.
I hope this kid has a phenomenal career.
He is def goin to NFL
Man iam a big raider fan and up until this video I was really hoping that we would get him saturday, But now i realize that macklin is way better, crab never really breaks away in any of these shots except against weak ass rice. and all the DBs hes facing are so weak. thanks for the post bro
I would like to thank Al Davis for handing over the best WR in the NFL draft to my team the 49ers
Thank you Al Davis!!!!! Bring in Jerry to mentor this guy.
Man He is a monster
i am thanking Al Davis because he passed up on him and now we got him.....#15 BABY!!........ lets doo it
I'm not a Lions fan but imagine if they drafed Crabtree with the no.1 pick and then used the Boys pick to draft Stafford, they might end up having one of the most prolific pass attacks in the NFL.
now if we can just get him to sign that freakin contract..we'd be in good shape.
With the 7th pick in the NFL Draft, The Oakland Raiders select: Michael Crabtree!!!
Thank you, Al Davis!
WE ARE THE 49ERS!
really nice video quality for most of these kinds of videos. awesome video
cant wait to watch him at Quest field
Hell ...... for all you 49ers and Crabtree haters!!!!!!!!...... Fitzgerald isn't all the fast either, BUT yet his one of the best WR in the game today NO QUESTION about that......and I'm a 49ERS FAN!!!!!

Huberk.... Well made video... I understand why it took a few days to complete..... Nicely done. Quality video my man.. Keep pumpin em out.
Training camp in Aug. -He's ready to go right now, but they want to play it safe.
Sold! Detractors think every NFL route is 40 yards in a straight friggin line. They chirp about him not having the full NFL tree....like somehow he doesnt have the intellectual depth OR time to learn it at his age,LOL.

yeah its tight... thanks man... it can work as a breakdance beat... nice vid hopefully he gets more TD's the last two games of 09
congratulations. You have a one man team.
Michael crabtree the former red raider is going to the raiders. Sept 14 is Crabtrees birthday where he will dominate the the chargers on his nfl debut on MNF. GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love this guy no homo hes mad nice....he reminds me of brandon marshall alot
yea...he may not be too fast but trust, If he can run his routes the way their drawn up he wont have much of a problem in the league. He's got size, strength and hands. Great weapon 4 frisco.
hell yeah!
39 to 33!!!
are u kidding me hes fast as hell
taking a wide receiver in the first round makes sense because when you have Alex Smith you need more than one good wideout. Oh yeah, did you hear about his acl injury that he was playing through last year? gee I wonder if that had anything to do with his performance.
I miss when Tech used to pass :(
Nice reel man. And I don't think any song sounds better in a highlight mix than the one you chose. Clubbed to death, by Rob Dugan, great job!
Hope miami can draft him or a big time corner cause we need it the most
hold up someone didn't do any reasearch.
Seattle unless someone else simply gets him before because he is so good and has RAW potential
beastly.
If I had to choose 6 receivers to play on one team for Tech it would be this:
Michael Crabtee
Joel Filani
Wes Welker
Jarrett Hicks
Robert Johnson
Detron Lewis
This receiving core would be unstoppable.
hard to believe he's only a sophmore this year go raiders!
I don't see how the best WR in the draft couldn't be paid like that.
CRABBY TO THE NINERS!! WOOOHOO!!
number 4 is high as hell i wouldnt do it if i was them
Welcome to the Seahawks Mike!
well i'm sure it could happen but crabtree is gonna be out untill i think week 7 so they'll have to play extra hard untill then but maybe yall can do it though, i'm not gonna doubt it though because a team isn't only about one person
Crabtree to the Raiders...
Top 5 places Crabtree might end up:(in no order)
Oakland
Seattle
Houston
St. Louis
San Francisco
All of these teams outside of St. Louis need either a number 2 or number 1 receiver and are close enough to the top of the first round to either wait for him to fall to them or trade up.

It looks like a complicated "high-flying" offense but it's really just a handful of plays with given checks based on the coverage..which should be easy for any D1 starting player.
Crabtree is an amazing athlete! I am biased but Skyler Mayne out of Utah will be the next Crabtree! Check out his video as a Jr in high School.
dont kid yourself. Crabtree will have his best shot at a career in New England with Tom Brady throwing screens. Can't wait
nice job thanks for this!
God I hope so. We need a playmaker on offense that isn't Matt and is young, doesn't get injured.
just imagine if michael went 2 da saints, we would be GREAT!!!!
Bruce has had one good game this season, a 74 yard game in week one with 50 of those yards coming off one deep ball. He is not the player he even was last year.

i love how in the description it say "first ever video highlight of texas" lol
He needs to have a sit down with patrick willis who signed his rookie contract for 5 years 16.7 Million and he quickly became the nfls premiere linebacker should be making 16 mil a season but you dont hear him complaining he lets his game speak because he knows the big contract is coming.
WE NEED CRABTREE IN OAKLAND
trust me chances of crabtree passing past seahawks, raiders, browns, and jags is like impossible.
the titans!
I hope he goes to Seattle. If Hassleback has a real threat like this guy -look out!!!!!
We just need to keep him from getting injured during his first year like all other Niner rookie WR's.
yea your right i am dreaming lol, we should pick him up next year but we also have 2 be top 3 in next years draft 2 do so
is he the number one guys speed matters no matter what
What no one understands is that a WR can't be a product of the system.

keyshawn johnson was the first pick in the 1996 draft.... texas tech is ranked #7 in the nation.
i couldnt believe my eyes at 0:50
the Bengals have more important things to worry about than a receiver, the team that i think get him are either the Raiders or the Jags
he will. No doubt.
