StillUnknown Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 just saw it on ESPNNEWS bottom line, i wonder how this affects his draft position http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=3923924 Texas Tech receiver Michael Crabtree, projected as the No. 1 pick for April's NFL draft, will miss eight-10 weeks of training with a stress fracture in his left foot, sources confirmed Saturday to ESPN Scouts Inc.'s Todd McShay.Revealed in medical tests at the scouting combine Friday in Indianapolis, Crabtree's injury will require surgery to insert a screw, NFL.com reported. The fracture is expected to sideline Crabtree for workouts in advance of the NFL draft, April 25-26. Crabtree is a two-time Biletnikoff Award winner as the nation's top wide receiver. He was rated as the draft's top prospect by ESPN's Scouts Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrifNick21 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 just saw it on ESPNNEWS bottom line, i wonder how this affects his draft positionhttp://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=3923924 I doubt it changes it at all.. Remember, Willis McGahee had that awful knee injury and still went first round. I doubt Crabtree falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheREALJBird Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 He'd be a steal if he somehow fell out of the top 10 because of this. Seattle would be foolish to pass on him @ 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyro281 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 With Seattle and Oakland in the top 10, no way he falls (hey, how weird is it to not include the Lions in that list of teams?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewU Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 he announced he will run the 40 at his pro day before he will have the surgery http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=3923924 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
