Michael Crabtree= Michael Irvin

He looks like a young Michael Irvin out there, the way he catches the football and has a similar build (6'2" 215pds, long arms) and he takes long strides like Irvin and like Irvin I think Crabtree will be a "playmaker" I actually think he will even be a better player than Irvin which is saying a lot but I just think this kid is going to be a special, special player. I can't say enough on how I was amazed at how he played yesterday, 2 1/2 weeks after signing. The Texans franchise cornerback Dunta Robinson said the same thing.

6'1 1/2" 215 lbs. More like Anquan Boldin but that's also great.

He probably has similarities to a lot of WRS.

Jerry Rice
Michael Irvin
Anquan Boldin
Andre Johnson

In the end, Micheal Crabtree = Michael Crabtree.

Soon people will be comparing other receivers to Crabtree. He's his own player.

I dont think so either. Boldin looks like a LB and Crabs looks like a WR. I think Crabs looks more like Fitz than Boldin!

Maybe not physically, but the way he plays.

I don't know. Crabtree runs precise routs. Fitz isn't really known for that. He's more known for his size, leaping ability, and hands.

Yeah me too. And lets hope Crabtree can stay away from all the crap Irvin was into...
