Origin: named after Michael Crabtree, a wide receiver drafted by the San
Francisco 49ers as the 10th pick out of Texas Tech in the 2009 NFL Draft. Despite being offered a 20 million dollar contract, he has become the second-longest NFL rookie holdout in two decades.
The new actor on 'All My
Children' was intent on getting paid the same pay as the show's highest paid actress, Susan Lucci. The producers of the long-
running soap opera told the actor's agent, "Why is your client trying to be a 'Crabtree?' He is
lucky to be given such a great opportunity!"
