The Ravens inked Michael Crabtree to a three-year deal Friday night.
Here are five things to know about the veteran wide receiver:
1) He grew in Dallas.
Crabtree was born in Dallas and attended Carter High School, which was the championship-winning team featured in “Friday Night Lights.” Crabtree grew up idolizing longtime Dallas Cowboys cornerback Deion Sanders. Perhaps that’s part of the reason why Crabtree also said he grew up a Ravens fan. Sanders came out of retirement to finish his career in Baltimore in 2004 and 2005.
“Ravens were my favorite team – maybe because of the hardnosed defense they used to have back in the day,” Crabtree said.
