Crabtree declared for the 2009 NFL Draft just before the deadline after consulting with Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach. Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. projected Crabtree as a top-five prospect, though he was ultimately selected 10th overall by the San Francisco 49ers. He quickly established himself as a key offensive player for the team.
Crabtree signed with the Oakland Raiders on April 13, 2015, inking a one-year, $3.2 million deal, with an additional $1.8 million in potential incentives. He made an immediate impact, opening the season with 5 receptions for 46 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals. On December 9, 2015, he signed a four-year contract extension worth $35 million, solidifying his role as a leading wide receiver for the Raiders.
Crabtree played a vital role in the San Francisco 49ers’ journey to Super Bowl XLVII in the 2012 season. Despite a strong individual performance, the team narrowly lost to the Baltimore Ravens. His physical style and clutch performances made him a fan favorite during his six seasons with the 49ers.
Crabtree was raised primarily by his father, Michael Crabtree Sr., after his parents separated when he was six years old. His passion for sports and commitment to excellence began in his youth and continued throughout his career. Though he has maintained a relatively private personal life, he has become known for his competitive nature and notable rivalries, including one with fellow NFL player Richard Sherman.
