Can Crabtree Do It Again?

May 23rd, 2008 by Crabtree Zone

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.
