Patrick Crayton (born April 7, 1979 in DeSoto, Texas) is an American football wide receiver currently with the Dallas Cowboys.
Crayton was a 7th round pick by Dallas in the 2004 NFL Draft out of Northwestern Oklahoma State University. Crayton had unexpected success during the 2004 season, following injuries to wide receivers higher up the depth chart. During the following offseason, he outperformed Quincy Morgan, leading to Morgan's release. In his first game of the 2005 season, Crayton continued his solid play with six receptions for 89 yards and one touchdown. However, he sustained a broken ankle during the middle of the 2005 season, and was unable to return to full form during his return later that year. The 2006 season brought Crayton back to renewed prominence, especially when the Cowboys switched quarterbacks mid-season to Tony Romo. Crayton recorded his first 100-yard game against the Arizona Cardinals in 2006 when filling in for an injured Terry Glenn. Former Cowboys Coach Bill Parcells has said numerous times that Crayton has the best hands on the team. also in the wildcard game vs seatle he scored a diving touchdown
