General Patton
Kid is smart, tough, talented, and ultra motivated. I love the way he runs with the ball in his hands. Strong runner and he charges downhill.
I like Ellington and get that he's the new sexy preseason pick but I do think some are underrating Patton in the process. Patton had just as outstanding of a preseason last year but injuries mostly decimated his rookie season.
Both of them are exceptionally talented and tremendous values for where they were picked. I hope both get a chance to contribute and improve what has been a rather pedestrian passing attack. I think these guys are getting some great hands-on training, working with Boldin, Crabtree, Lloyd...etc. Even Osgood apparently has made quite the impression on them, with all these guys being experienced vets, I see their influence having a strong positive effect on both of these young receivers.
