Easily one of my favorite players in the NFL, as a Vikings fan it pisses me off that they don't even try to use him but he's been putting in work this offseason and hopefully that pays off
Patterson was great at Tennessee. On a related note, any unbiased eye has to admit that Bray had one of the best arms to ever throw for Tennessee. He had a lot of faults, but pure gun-slingery wasn't one of them.
His vison is the best I have ever seen,combine that with speed he has, no wonder this guy is a beast....God given talent,you can teach how to read blocks and use your vision but,not like this his was God sent...made defense look useless,even Alabama was using angles to corrale him....
+Nathan Manies yeah what're you talking about, they're are using him exactly how they should be. He cant run routes for shit they can basically only use him in the slot and in the backfield which they do from time to time. He is a great kick returner because he's amazing in the open field, needs to work on his routes
He has to decide he wants to be a receiver and not just a return man, and he's doing that this season with the reality check that his contract is up after this next season. I can't wait to see him step it up and become elite this next year.
This guy is electrifying!! Has the most deadly cuts I have ever seen. Great vision and always seems to make something out of nothing. Plus he played in the SEC where he was by o mean playing some chumps. Going to be exciting to watch. Too bad the Bears aren't in need of a WR in the first round, or I would love to get this guy!
What ball carrier vision, just breathtaking... Not sure if his back & forth -type of running will give him as much success in the NFL, but he's certainly got great body control.
Damn he is GOOD! O my gosh.. how come he didn't have much highlights coming on the television? Where was I? He deserve to be draft in the first round. And damn, nice highlight! This is the best one I've seen so far in a while. No crappy music, just HIGHLIGHT. Learn from this video guys.
If he gets his routes and cuts down, and starts catching like he did in college, hes gonna be a GIANT weapon this season, literally and figuratively. When you're a receiver as big, strong, and fast as Patterson, if you can get open there is no reason he can't be elite. I really hope he steps it up.
Patterson will take the NFL by storm, he will be the least of every other teams worries, will have single coverage every snap, should put up great rookie numbers
This is awesome. Great upload! Patterson is going to take advantage of these new rules in the NFL protecting receivers more and more, and he will develop into a very dangerous weapon. Great pick by Minnesota.
After watching so interviews of him during the rookie camps in Minnesota, it seems to be that he is really grasping the playbook well. George Stewart and him have multiple extra practices and film sessions every week to get him up to snuff on his techniques. They also have him next to greg Jennings locker, and he and cris carter also have some sessions with him every week. This kid is going to have the best chance out of any receiver to do well, his tutors are an all star cast!!!
This kid has a chance to really be something special. People saying that he cant be an elite receiver in the nfl need to get a clue. Kid put up good numbers his first year at a major program and playing in the SEC. It is way too early to say he is going to be a stud or that he is never going to be elite. This kid has all of the physical tools to be a superstar in the NFL. All he has to do is improve his route running (helps learning from Greg Jennings), and improve his hands.
How many times did u see him celabrate In that highlight ?? That's what Ii like about him Sportsmanship along with skill and natural talent and hard work #84 good luck bro
Patterson is by far the best prospect in this years draft !!!! He Fights for every yard !!! He has heart and vision i love tavon austin too but Patterson is ridiculous
6'3 returning kicks to the house. what talent. you usually dont see those long long strides make those kind of cuts in tight space compaired to the shorter returners these days
Cp just never been had his time to shine my boy gotta ring thoe and fashoe going to the hof as a return specialist cp the truth give that man his flowers 🌺
All these great highlights, whats the one thing I noticed? He hands the ball to the ref every time he scores. He doesn't seem to be a hot head like Percy. So glad hes a Viking. #84 is BACK! I know he will live up to that number much better than Jenkins did.
Awesome choice, we got the needs filled all in the first round with talented players said to be High picks. I am exited for the vikings and can't wait for the season now.
As a Vols fan I hope CP does great in the NFL, is smart with his money, keeps his nose clean and retires healthy. I also hope he ends up on my raiders but that aint happening. Sure made a bad season exciting watching him and bray hook em up!
Only criticism is his rout running, but with the best rout runner in the NFL today mentoring him, the sky is the limit. Jennings, Patterson, Wright and Rudolph. Throw in a little Peterson and that's one hell of an offense. No excuses this year for Ponder!
man i hope ponder doesnt mess this up he has EVERYTHING a quaterback could ever want a great, hall of fame wide receiver, one of the best running backs of all time a average o-line, good tight end rudolf , and what looks to be another good wide receiver patterson
What a draft for the Vikings... Cordarrelle paired with All Day and Sharrif Floyd paired with Jared Allen and Kevin Williams is unbelievable. If only Ponder could learn to throw..
The thing I like most is that he has the affordance to sit back learn from Cris Carter, Greg Jennings, and Coach Stew because he doesnt have to come in and be the "guy". Rudolph, Simpson, and Jarius will have bigger roles in the pass game and they can bring him in and he can still impact as a return man. And hopefully by the end of the year he can step in and impact our passing game late. This is a great pick if he hits, he has to work hard tho. Great job Spielman
