Texas Tech's Crabtree to give up final two seasons and enter NFL draft

Texas Tech's Michael Crabtree said yesterday he's giving up his final 2 years of eligibility because he thinks he's ready for pro football.

He now has his sights set on how high he'll go in the draft.

"As far as I've seen, top 5. That's what I'm striving for," Crabtree said.

In two seasons, he made 231 receptions for 3,127 yards and 41 touchdowns.

Texas Tech defensive end Brandon Williams also announced that he's entering the draft.
