SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Michael Crabtree is a no-show at San Francisco 49ers training camp.

The Niners kicked off their first camp under coach Mike Singletary on Saturday without their top draft pick, the star receiver from Texas Tech. The team said Crabtree had yet to sign before players took the field for their opening workout.

Singletary said earlier in the week he wouldn't be surprised if Crabtree hadn't agreed to a contract by the first day. The rest of the rookies reported to the training complex Tuesday.

The record-setting receiver was the 10th overall pick in the NFL draft after he unexpectedly slipped several spots on draft day. He's listed and wearing No. 15 on the roster being handed out on a day when practice was open to the public.

Crabtree also missed the 49ers' offseason minicamps while recovering from a foot injury.
