Stopped reading at ESPN, sorry Nancy

People actually pay for that espn insider/ espn mag subscription garbage???? Lmao.


The combine moved him into top 10 range, he might slip to Carolina though. Not much more then that.

Heard he was hurting himself in the interviews.

Yea, I read the same thing. Read that he came off as immature and not a student of the game.

LOLLLL

[carolina-chuck]

Yea right

Prob with Patterson is that he is as raw as they come as a WR. Routes need work, hands need work, ect.

There are guys that are a lot more polished and can come in and make an immediate impact right away.

Here's basically the strengths and weaknesses from his Combine performance;

+ Great size- did come in a little shorter than expected, but also more compact.
+ Great athleticism- he ran a good 40 time for his size.

- Hand size- only 9.08", that's pretty small, particularly for his size, and only deepens questions about his catching ability.
- Catching- I just mentioned it, he dropped a lot of passes and relied a lot on body catches for those he didn't.
- Route-running- very sloppy and unpolished, although this was expected to a large degree.
- Interviews- simply no one is coming away impressed with him, and teams do value this stage of the process.

Overall, he definitely did not improve his stock, more likely worsened it just a bit. As of now I wouldn't expect him to be a top ten pick, although Miami is still a very reasonable option for him.

Nice post OHK

Not a fan. He was a good YAC guy in college, buy he's a body catcher. Rarely see him win the ball in the air against the DB. Would rather have Tavon Austin considering the fact that he's an even more dynamic YAC guy with better receiver skills.

I think the sky is the limit with this guy.

He has to go to the right situation, to a team with a good/charismatic (i.e. able to convince him that he needs work) WR coach.

Physically he has it all.

I think even if he busts as a WR you've still got yourself a Pro Bowl calibre return man.

Charles Davis disagrees with you and ESPN.

[Clicheking]

I've never been a Patterson guy despite the hype. Not enough production and to raw for my taste. I'd take Austin, Hunter and Allen over him even if he was still there. Plus Hunter will probably still be there in the second and offer a much better value.

Link? Just curious

I'll try to find it.

edit: there's this one, but it doesn't go into specifics: http://www.nationalf...ne-workout.html

Might have been in a video, which will make those specific comments hard to find.
