As a collegiate wide receiver, Texas Tech sophomore Michael Crabtree has little left to prove. He will likely pick up his second Biletnikoff Award next week, won the AT&T All-America Player of the Year Award as a freshman, is a two-time All-American and is projected by many services as a Top 10 pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.

But when next April rolls around, he may be thinking more about suiting up for Texas Tech's Red & Black Spring Game than the Super Bowl, because Crabtree made a very surprising statement today regarding the NFL Draft.

"Yeah," he responded when asked if he would be returning for his junior season.

But surely, there must be some consideration of entering the NFL?

"No, not at all," responded Crabtree when asked that question.

"I'm taking every game like I did last year, one game at a time. I'm really not worried too much about the future right now because that's out of my reach. I'm just worried about what I can control, and that's college football."

In two seasons at Texas Tech, Crabtree has caught 227 passes for 3,097 yards and 40 touchdowns.

Underclassmen have until January 15th to submit their name for the 2009 NFL Draft.

He has to say this kind of stuff...and today his dad said the exact opposite and that he expected him to come out after this year. Don't know why he's not being mentioned in the Heisman argument. He's the best player in the Big 12. Proves how much influence ESPN has over the country and the way sports is viewed.

If he decides to be drafted he has a chance of going from the TT Red Raiders to the Oakland Raiders

he should leave for the NFL, knowing he is going to be a very high draft pick, why wouldnt he? he risks getting injured and fucking up his career. me personally would like to see him stay and be able to watch him another year in the NCAA

Actually, he has been mentioned numerous times. I've been keeping an eye (and ear) on all this shit, with Tebow slowly moving up the lists of some of these ''experts'', as other players have come and gone (Chase Daniels, etc.), and many people have him on their top 5 lists. What's hurting him, according to a lot of these guys, is having a QB who's ALSO in the chase for the Heisman.

Easily the best WR in college football right now, but they (QB - WR) are cancelling each other out in the long run.

OH, and btw, I don't know why he'd stay. Of course, I'd like to see him stay, but I don't see how his stock could rise anymore than it has this year. He won't be as highly regarded as he is right now, so he should leave. (Possibly his view...)
