2012 Senior Highlights:
2010 Sophomore Year Highlights:
Strengths (+):
+ Catches with his hands away from his body, not a body catcher
+ Good Size for WR
+ Quickness off the line is good for NFL level
+ Good at using head fakes and other moves on routes to create quick seperation
+ Plays hard with a good motor
+ Fights hard in run blocking down field
+ Good Sideline Awareness
Weaknesses (-):
- Good but not elite straight line speed
- Has to work on strength to beat press coverage more
- Needs to work on coming down with balls he makes adjustments on
NFL Player Comparison: WR Stevie Johnson - Buffalo Bills
Analysis:A first-team All-WAC pick in 2011, Patton accumulated 1,202 yards and 11 touchdowns in his first year with the Bulldogs after transferring from Coffeyville Community College – while also showing NFL teams paying close attention that he possesses the hands, route-running skills, and toughness to be a top 125 pick – and, eventually, a very good starter.
Raiders Outlook:
Raiders could use Patton if available in the 3rd round. They would also have to find a way to cut ties with DHB via a trade. That would allow them to pick up an extra draft pick in later rounds. That way they can focus on giving help to the Defense, O-line and/or possibly a HB. Patton would come in a make an impact with a rotation of Criner, Streater, and Moore as a developing young core of WR's.
