  COMMITMENT PROFILE FILM EVALUATION Strengths: Dylan Crawford has a lot of strengths, but none of them are on an elite level. He's got good size at 6‑1, 175 pounds and a very solid build. He runs very good routes, but isn't lightning quick or fast. He is an above‑average ath‑ lete in terms of jumping and body control, which gives him a solid catch radius. He's also very smart and is willing and able to block well downfield, a trait that head coach Jim Harbaugh loves in wide receivers. Crawford is very polished for a high school receiver, which may allow him to see playing time early. Areas Of Improvement: There are very few weaknesses in Crawford's game, but training in the weight room will improve his build, quickness and long speed. He does all of the technical things very well, but his raw athleticism is one thing that could hinder him at the next level. Michigan Player Comparison: Crawford is a rich man's version of current Michigan freshman Grant Perry. Crawford has a similar build to Perry (6‑0, 185 pounds), but may be a slightly better athlete. Both receivers catch everything, exhibit toughness and an ability to block, and possess a high football IQ, which allowed Perry, a late offer in the 2015 recruiting cycle, to get on the field as a true freshman. — Analysis from TheWolverine.com
