Chris Crane

Christopher T. Crane (born April 18, 1986) is an American former professional football quarterback who played for the Milwaukee Iron of the Arena Football League (AFL). He was signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2009. He played college football for the Boston College Eagles.

Early life Crane was a four-year starter for the Trinity Shamrocks. He holds the Trinity career records for completions (313), passing yards (4,320) and touchdown passes (45). During his senior season, Crane completed 101 of 170 passes for 1,291 yards, 17 passing touchdowns, and also had seven rushing touchdowns. Crane had a 31–11 overall record at quarterback and played in the 2003 Pennsylvania East-West All-Star Game.

Crane was a member of the Trinity basketball team that won the PIAA Class AA state championship in 2003, his junior season, and he totaled 1,483 career points. He led the Eagles to a 3–1 start, with his first loss coming against Georgia Tech, 19–16. He then briefly improved the team's conference record by winning against NC State and Virginia Tech, but lost the next two against North Carolina and Clemson. These losses were fueled by Crane's mediocre performance, but calls for his benching quickly ended when he led the team to a win against rival Notre Dame and to a win at Florida State during FSU's Senior Night. Crane's short time as the Boston College starter came to an end as he broke his collarbone against Wake Forest. The Eagles, under Dominique Davis, advanced and lost in the 2008 ACC Championship Game against Virginia Tech for a second year in a row.
