How’d he get to The Blue^TM?

Well apparently this is the third year in a row I’ve managed to review Mr. Crabtree. So I am just going to plagiarize myself. Again.

Crabtree was an August 2015 commit, stuck to his commitment, and signed with the Broncos in February 2016.

Crabtree was a 3 star-rated recruit from ESPN, Scout, and 247Sports. For his high school career he notched 40 passes caught, 550 yards, and three touchdowns. His efforts netted him an All-Sunset League Second Team as a senior. He’s also a pretty swell fellow as well with a Jim Axton Memorial Award for Character and Leadership nod.

Nickname

”Consistent”

The guy managed to go two years without gaining a pound. That’s... impressive.

Look-alike

Same face as last year, going to stick with last year’s look-alike.

Career highlights

Offensive line isn’t going to have a whole bunch of highlights to begin with. But, remarkably enough, Crabtree had the same “stats” in his RS sophomore year as his RS freshman year: appearances in four games.

So that’s good, I guess?

2019 Prospectus

Crabtree is going to be on an offensive line that Phil Steele picked three players as MWC-first teamers (Ezra Cleveland, John Molchon, and Eric Quevedo). So he has a chance to be a part of something special for the Broncos. Whether or not the Broncos have another 1,000-yard rusher will rest on their shoulders. If I were being honest, I hope to not hear a bunch of names called from the o-line unless it’s “This guy is a for sure first-rounder.” If they keep the pocket clean and open up some decent-sized holes, we should be in good shape.

Is he on Twitter?

Yep.

Completely made up fact

Like dragonflies, Nick Crabtree can see in all directions at once.
