    Crayton has been working hard at improving his running form and hand-eye coordination. "He's figuring out, 'You know what? I need to start looking for some ways to continue to separate myself,' " Walker said. "That's part of his game. How can he be more efficient? He's not a 4.2 40 guy, but that's not his deal. He wants to learn the tricks to help with acceleration." Crayton spent time learning about shin angles and knee lift in hopes of turning a sliver of space on a defensive back into more separation and more yards after the catch. After dropping three passes in 2008, Crayton used Nike SST vision testing, wearing Strobe Specs where lights blink on and off to help with focus. "I'm trying not to put any on the ground this year," Crayton said.

    I like that he's working hard to improve his drops, but I think he needs more than hand-eye techniques. We'll see come this fall. I'm glad eh's taking his work seriously though.

    He is doing more. He's also been putting a lot of work into his running form and practicing technique to get more separation.
