Detroit Lions draft preview Cordarrelle Patterson

Broke a down film (NC State, Florida, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Georgia) on Tennessee WR Cordarrelle Patterson.  He declared for the draft with just one year at Tennessee and 2 years at Hutchinson CC.

2012 12 games 46 rec 778  5 td

Combine: 6017 216 4.42 40 37 Vj 1008 broad

Strengths: wicked fast with the football. Can play slot, outside, return man and even throw. Next to Tavon Austin the most explosive athlete in the draft.

Weakness: Not a true receiver. Better athlete at this stage than route runner. Will drop the ball especially on the fly route.

Bottom line not an option at 5 but will probably go in the top 20. Will make an impact on reverses and the return game. He question is will he develop into a true receiver. 6.7 impact player in situations. 1 st round.
