Michael Crabtree changes scenery, looks to change fans perception

With a new team and new scenery, could perceptions of Michael Crabtree change as well? The former first-round pick goes into the season looking to prove he's still an elite wideout and a great teammate despite his past.

After six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, Michael Crabtree hit free agency and landed not too far from Santa Clara. The former first-round pick signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the Oakland Raiders on April 13 of this year and automatically became the best receiver on the roster.

The signing wasn't too shocking, but many questioned what kind of teammate Crabtree would be.
