Are my eyes deceiving me? Crayton looks faster!

[BlueStar22]

It appears he's ready to back up his big mouth with a little more production. It looks like he's worked on his speed.

 

[theogt]

I've never seen him actually "juke" someone until this preseason.

 

[reddyuta]

its the 49ers punt coverage .they are a lot worse than ours.

 

[CATCH17]

He just looks like a complete player right now.

We are fortunate to have him.

 

[BlueStar22]

nah, not talking bout the punt return. there was actually a pass he caught that he showed a bit of a burst after the catch.

 

[Mansta54]

Yes, we are...

 

[Frozen700]

Crayton can be awesome at times

hes our hines ward

 

[DanTanna]

I saw that burst too. Even though the screen was super low definition I clearly saw Crayton split the defenders after a catch and drag them a few yards!

Cool. He may be a fantasy pick after all.

you're not alone... a couple of times I thought "wow, he got yards quick" ...very deceptive speed last night.

 

[newlander]

MIssed the first half darnit: but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt right now. If for no other reason than I want it to be true so badly...........

 

[Yeagermeister]

Wasn't he working with Michael Johnson, the sprinter, in the offseason?

 

[Wood]

Crayton is running even better routes this year and gained confidence...that usually translates into running momentum...and he has it right now.

This is from an August article, so you may be onto something:

Knowing that strength and conditioning coach Joe Juraszek had a full schedule, Crayton sought the help of former Cowboys assistant Lance Walker at the Michael Johnson Performance Center.

"He’s the director over there," Crayton explained. "He already knows Joe Juraszek’s workout stuff, so he incorporates some of Joe’s stuff with his own. Over there I could get a lot more one-on-one attention.

"He put all my technique on film, and then was able to redo all my technique so that I can get better, faster and more explosive than I was."

thats what I was saying to my buddy during the game that he looked really quick on that one play. Crayton has really been over looked this offseason so hopefully he's able to have a pretty big year

 

[RCowboyFan]

I would say he is quicker and seemingly might be legitimate No. 2 reciever. I.e. before, I don't know if he would have gotten open consistently against a No. 1 CB on team ( well not someone like Namdi, but a good CB), but now I think he can. He has little more quickness to him, seems like.

 

[28 Joker]

He looks faster to me. He's catching the ball on the run and running away.

Crayton is going to make a monster play this year in a big game.

I feel it. He made one last year against the Giants.

PC has got some nice YAC skills now.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Maybe he ran in sand in the offseason

 

[sureletsrace]

Maybe he ran in sand in the offseason

:laugh2:

 

[Bob Sacamano]

for being a "slow" guy, he's managed a healthy 14 yards per catch average for his career, and he has some long receptions to his credit, like 60-70 yard type of stuff

 

[fgoodwin]

Didn't he give up on a deep out route early in the game? Reminded me of the NYG playoff back in 2007.
