A Year In Review: Michael Crabtree

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Michael Crabtree had A YEAR in 2016 — the most memorable year of his professional career.

After winning the Biletnikoff Award as College Football’s best receiver in each of his two seasons as a starter at Texas Tech, the former Red Raider had a bit of an underwhelming professional career prior to the 2016 season, as a member of both of the Bay Area’s professional football franchises.

That all changed this season.

With Derek Carr’s ascension to an elite, MVP-candidate quarterback in 2016, Crabtree feasted on opposing cornerbacks — particularly with the game in the balance — and may have had the most clutch season in NFL History for a wide receiver.
