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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!!!!!
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
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.
@abacadab80 also, 134 grabs, 1962 yards and 22 touchdowns his first year playing. oh, by the way, that was his first year to ever play wide receiver. he has only been a wideout for three years of his life. not like he dominated? have you ever even seen a football game?
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.
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
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.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
most of the time he caught from behind be was off balance from getting hit or laying out for a catch...did you see him burn the aggies at the beginning?
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.
and how exactly do his stats show he is regressing? he had more catches and more yards in 1 less game than last year, yes his yards per catch dipped a little bit, but they have him runnning more possession receiver type routes, shorter ones because they are running a ball control type offense. And he is not the team's only receiver, they have Vernon Davis who is a tight end but used as a receiver quite a bit because of his 4.3 speed, his yards and ypc went down this season too, is he bad?
Im not sure if he is really 6'3 tho Fitz is 6'3 and when u look at Fitz on TV and than look at Crab they dont look nearly the same size... I guess we will have to just wait until the combine...
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.
His yards after the catch ability is just amazing. I love when a WR makes that extra effort to get those extra yards.
hes a beast, amazing plays. great vid, nice job
Thanks for the upload man, can't wait til this season starts.
really nice video quality for most of these kinds of videos. awesome video
Man, Darrius and Michael are going to be in competition for the rest of their NFL careers.
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.
Huberk.... Well made video... I understand why it took a few days to complete..... Nicely done. Quality video my man.. Keep pumpin em out.
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.
The new jersey color is hella throwback. GO NINERS! GREAT 1ST ROUND PICK!
good video. it gave me goosebumps the whole time. im definately ready for red raider football to be back in season.
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.
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.

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!
Lol he wasn't amazing decent yes
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!
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.
Thank you Al Davis!!!!! Bring in Jerry to mentor this guy.
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
micheal crabtree is so impressive on those slant aroutes in the redzone
This Guy Could Be one of the Best Slot Receiver of ALL TIME (.)
I hope this kid has a phenomenal career.
I agree 100%. He is the best receiver out of all those tight play makers you mentioned.
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
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.
RAAAAIIIIIDDDDEEEERRRRSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This Saturday...can't wait.
49ers FAN FOR LIFE! PAY THE MAN LETS GO!!!!!

Crabtree's a beast!!
hello Fred Blinkoff award..
he'll get it every year he plays college ball.

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
i love how in the description it say "first ever video highlight of texas" lol
Thank you, Al Davis!
WE ARE THE 49ERS!
what is this song called i knew before but forgot plz help and it is a sick video!!
if any receiver ever deserved the heisman it is him the best reviver in a long time
Training camp in Aug. -He's ready to go right now, but they want to play it safe.
3:34-4:44 wow
He is def goin to NFL
crabtree will kick ass in the NFL. Gore, crabtree, bruce, now just need a decent QB.
congratulations. You have a one man team.
now if we can just get him to sign that freakin contract..we'd be in good shape.
Man He is a monster
Hope miami can draft him or a big time corner cause we need it the most

I would like to thank Al Davis for handing over the best WR in the NFL draft to my team the 49ers
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!!!!!

Looks like the next great one
With the 7th pick in the NFL Draft, The Oakland Raiders select: Michael Crabtree!!!
Been hearing this tune for years and never knew the name. Anyone know what it' called? Thx!

Welcome to the Seahawks Mike!

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.

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.

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.
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
nice job thanks for this!
thanks
hard to believe he's only a sophmore this year go raiders!
I miss when Tech used to pass :(
does anyone know the name of the beat playing in the background?
nice song n nice vid
WE NEED CRABTREE IN OAKLAND
were do get highlights like to make a video
this is coming from a die hard husker fan....but MC is gunna have plenty of highlights this year against nebraska when they travel to Lubbock.
Crabtree to the Raiders...
most of the time he caught from behind be was off balance from getting hit or laying out for a catch...did you see him burn the aggies at the beginning?
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.
CRABBY TO THE NINERS!! WOOOHOO!!
and how exactly do his stats show he is regressing? he had more catches and more yards in 1 less game than last year, yes his yards per catch dipped a little bit, but they have him runnning more possession receiver type routes, shorter ones because they are running a ball control type offense. And he is not the team's only receiver, they have Vernon Davis who is a tight end but used as a receiver quite a bit because of his 4.3 speed, his yards and ypc went down this season too, is he bad?
dont kid yourself. Crabtree will have his best shot at a career in New England with Tom Brady throwing screens. Can't wait
just imagine if michael went 2 da saints, we would be GREAT!!!!
are you torry holt or something? is this what you do after the season is over?
I think he'll do well in Seattle
He was the best WR ever too play college football.
Im not sure if he is really 6'3 tho
Fitz is 6'3 and when u look at Fitz on TV and than look at Crab they dont look nearly the same size...
I guess we will have to just wait until the combine...
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.
the titans!
@pmbarro Yeah. So how you liking Tony Romo?
Never heard this song before...
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.
Niners + Crabtree = PLAYOFFS
Still My favorite player
