His problem is he's buried on the depth chart. He'll have to really bust his a** to get playing time.

"Seen a lot of good things from Quinton Patton," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. "I've always seen a competitive, very competitive individual and talented. Likes to practice, likes to make tough catches, etc. He's stayed healthy this entire offseason and training camp, and he's starting to stack good practice after good practice. Consistently good. It's a great step."

Offensive Play Of The Day

Pick any of Quinton Patton's dozen or so catches.

The second-year receiver continued to "stack" another good practice on top of his previous efforts, according to Harbaugh. Patton caught 10-or-more passes with Michael Crabtree and Brandon Lloyd out of action with minor leg injuries. On one occasion, Patton ran a deep crossing route and made a tremendous grab on a pass that was thrown slightly behind his body.

The highlight of Patton's day was seeing the young receiver run every ball into the end zone. It didn't matter if it was from 20 yards out or from 60-plus yards out, Patton was running the ball into the end zone. Patton said he picked up the tip from Anquan Boldin. But you know who did that first? 49ers fans know the answer.

It was Jerry Rice. The G.O.A.T.

The San Francisco 49ers have one talented wide receiver corp.

That means Quinton Patton is constantly battling for a job, as the wide receiver explained following the team's first ever practice at Levi's Stadium on Monday.

"Always, fighting for a roster spot. They brought in Brandon Lloyd and Stevie Johnson. Hey, more competition. Competition brings out the best in everyone."

The second-year player's focus is all on the present.

"I'm just looking forward to being out there on Thursday [against the Baltimore Ravens]. Then, the next week after that, then the next week after that. Just taking it game by game, I'm not looking all the way down the road or nothing. I'm looking at right now what I can do right now."

The San Francisco 49ers have a ton of wide receivers. However, that hasn't stopped Quinton Patton from standing out in the crowd, as Greg Roman explained.

"He's getting a lot of reps, doing a good job. I love his work ethic," said the offensive coordinator on Tuesday right before the team broke camp for Baltimore.

"A lot of what he's doing I really like and he's able to do it day in and day out. So, he's making a very favorable impression."

After injuries limited the second-year player to just six games a season ago, the key has simply been remaining on the field during training camp.

"He's been able to stay healthy and that's the number one thing."
