Ex-49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree never lived up to his hype during his time with the San Francisco 49ers.

It was a tumultuous six seasons in San Francisco. Crabtree has now moved on to the other side of the Bay with the Oakland Raiders. 

Crabtree voiced him complaints numerous times last season about not being the top option on the team. He was asked by reporter's at Raiders' minicamp about his perceived bad attitude with the 49ers.

“That’s just talk,” he said. “I don’t worry about talk. Some people say a lot of things, but until you get to know people, then you’ll know for yourself. It’s just talk.”

He was then asked if he had any friends on the current Raiders roster while he was with the 49ers.

“No, I was friends with my teammates. It’s kind of hard to be friends with somebody you don’t know.

“But now we can be friends.”

Crabtree was also asked if it felt weird being at Raiders' minicamp after six years with the 49ers.

“No, not at all,” Crabtree said. “It feels a little funny but not weird.”

Crabtree is on a 1-year deal with the Raiders. It will be interesting to see what kind of attitude he brings to Oakland.
