The image to your right of Texas Tech superstar wide receiver Michael Crabtree does look convincing, he is in fact no on the cover of EA’s NCAA Football 2009. Darren McFadden has that honor. EA is actually not allowed to feature current NCAA players on the cover of their games. They must wait till they turn pro. But thanks to a program like Photoshop, we can have some fun and put Crabtree on the cover. Maybe some day it will be real.

Like 90% of men in college, Michael Crabtree loves to play video games. I mean, how awesome would it be playing NCAA Football 2009 and getting to control yourself. When controlling the quarterback I’m sure he only picks passing plays and makes sure the target receiver is himself. I bet Crabtree has some sick stats in that game.

I don’t really have much else to say. I just found this cool picture of Michael Crabtree on the cover of the game and needed an excuse to post about it.

A fan from Bleacher Report said, “One might say that Biletnikoff Award-winner Michael Crabtree is a product of Mike Leach’s pass-happy system. But the 6’3”, 208-pound wide receiver is also a physical specimen with great hands and play-making ability.

Crabtree did finish off the 2007 season with some insane numbers. He had 134 catches for 1962 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns. Anyone with gawdy numbers like that is not merely a product of the system. You have to have talent. And not only does Crabtree have talent, he also has the perfect body type for a wide receiver (6′3″ 210 lbs). He has the size to body someone up at the line, and the speed to burn a corner on a fly route.

Sure Michael Crabtree has Senior Heisman candidate Graham Harrell throwing him the ball, but Texas Tech plays some fierce competition in the Big 12. It’s not a powder puff conference. He’ll be getting double teamed by some of the quickest CBs in the game. And even after all of that I still think he can put up huge numbers again.
