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 both vertically and in coverage. He's exactly the type of WR that Nix is targeting. He's also a very good threat as a returner. He's also a very good open field runner. He has good vision and solid moves to juke defenders and get extra yards... He's elusive and shifty.
He's 6' 3", 205. A JUCO transfer from Hutchinson CC. Speed wise there are rumors of a 4.34 40 yard dash. It's not a rumor that he ran a 10.3 100 meter... And that's very fast. On the field you can see he's a burner. But he's also physical and is well built.
10.54 is confirmed here:
10.33 is confirmed here:
What he isn't is polished as a route runner or very experienced. He's green. That's why he may be a bit of a sleeper. Keenan Allen, and Justin Hunter have more experience. Allen is the top WR at this point on many boards.
But, I can see Patterson being very much in the mix for us at 8 at this point.
