He's 88th overall in ranking according to total yards with 46 catches, 778 yards and 5 TDs. I get that he's a big bodied WR but there are plenty of other 6 ft plus WRs with two to three years of impressive stats compared to Patterson's one year of a mediocre season as a JUCO transfer...
Seriously, what is everyone's obsession with WR Patterson?

Also he was an amazing Juco player but I know that doesn't mean anything. I hate to tell you but it does as he dominated at that level and think had him not had to compete with Justin Harper last year as the top dog in Tennessee he would have been even better.Last edited by The Jokeman; 03-04-2013, 09:38 PM.

Re: Seriously, what is everyone's obsession with WR Patterson?
I pulled those stats from ESPN NCAAF -Stats under the WR category...
He seems like a good player but I would feel more comfortable seeing more production out of him if he were to be our #8 pick instead of taking a gamble on a player with one semi-solid year at Tennessee. I wouldn't mind us taking a WR in round one but someone like Hopkins or Keenan Allen.Where else would you rather be than right here right now?

Re: Seriously, what is everyone's obsession with WR Patterson?
I'm just wondering why, if want to go WR (which I don't see happening at all), why we aren't clammoring for Tevon Austin. That kid can flat out play! If we do go WR, thats the guy I want.If you walk with Jesus today, you don't have anything to worry about tomorrow...

Size, speed, strength, elusiveness. He's got a fantastic knack for making players miss with the ball in his hands. This is the sort of player Nix covets at WR.
He's faster than Julio Jones with a very similar game. He's more rugged than Justin Hunter but Hunter is an even better athlete.
Here's a guy climbing some boards that could be a sleeper for us on draft day. I watched Tennessee several times this year to catch Bray and Justin Hunter among others. But Patterson stood out more than any other Vol each time I watched. He's very fast, big, can muscle defenders, has good hands. He's really a threat bothLast edited by X-Era; 03-05-2013, 05:36 AM.

Re: Seriously, what is everyone's obsession with WR Patterson?
Not a big fan, don't like how he catches the ball, and the vast majority of the hype is YAC, which isn't going to happen if he doesn't make the catch first. Just because of his raw talent I might be willing to take a flyer on him if he drops into the second, but no way in hell am I calling his name at 8. Maybe even too risky for the second round if he's not much brighter than a box of rocks.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: Seriously, what is everyone's obsession with WR Patterson?
I like Patterson I think he's got a high ceiling and some developing left to do. Could he be the pick at 8? Yes he certainly could be but I don't think he's the favorite. Also everybody wants to discount JUCO production like it never happened. Let's not forget his caught 61 passes for 924 yards and 15 TD's, while carrying the ball 32 times for 379 yards and 6 TD's.COMING SOON...

Re: Seriously, what is everyone's obsession with WR Patterson?
Patterson is basically Devon Hester once he catches the ball. One of the most elusive WRs I've ever seen once he has the ball in his hands. That being said I don't think he will have a very steep learning curve in the NFL. It will take him time to be a good route runner and be anything more than a gadget player.
You could be looking at another Josh Cribbs for his first 2-3 years.
The other factor you have to consider is the type of offense Marrone and Hackett run which has a lot of west coast principles. For that kind of offense route running must be your strength and intelligence too. I think they let Nelson and Jones go because they aren't exactly guys who are quick out of their breaks.
Tavon Austin would be a much better fit as would Keenan Allen.
