Michael Crabtree and the San Francisco 49ers haven’t exactly been an ideal match from the start. After being taken with the No. 10 pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, Crabtree proceeded to hold out until October 7 of his rookie year. That was the longest rookie hold out in team history.

But, over the first year and a half of his NFL career, Crabtree has produced, racking up 1,366 yards and eight touchdowns on 103 catches in just 27 games. So, hey, not bad right? Great building block for the 49ers and new head coach Jim Harbaugh. Or maybe not.

Crabtree has yet to participate in any of the 49ers’ player-organized workouts during the lockout, while almost all of the team’s prominent players have attended. No only that, but word has leaked out that Crabtree is sort of a loner and isn’t a team player.

Now a tweet from Sporting News’ Dave Razzano makes things even worse, “Not surprised Crabtree no-show for 49er (practices). HUGE mistake to take high on 49ers part. Harbaugh will grow tired of him soon. Not that good.”

Ouch. Considering Razzano is an ex-NFL scout, we tend to believe his assessment.
