I was reading comments about Jeudy. Most here believe in the guy, and I do too, though I expect more this year. And of course we have Sutton, who after his second season was considered one of the best upcoming WRs in the game. Let me be clear....both these WRs could be great this year! Injuries played a part in their games, and so did a less than stellar pass game. In fact, when you look at our group of wide receivers, we look pretty solid. Can't wait to see Hamler stretch the field!
But if I'm Russ Wilson, who is finding his way around our O, one guy I would really be interested in is Tim Patrick. I don't have a stat on last year, but in '20 he had zero drops. Amazing!!
But there's more....
In the last 2 years, with a less than impressive pass game, Patrick caught 104 passes for 1,476 yards, averaging 14.0 per catch, including 12 TDs. Those are not All Pro stats, but on this team they were good. And that "dropped passes" thing is a big time bonus.
So Russ should have a nice pick of guys to throw to, and each has something positive to offer. But the names of Sutton and Jeudy come up much more than the reliable one. And when I say reliable, don't think of some TE who you throw to when looking for 5-10 yards. Patrick's TDs, and average yards per catch reflect someone who is moving the ball forward with some urgency. And yes, the hands. Who would Russ like to go to on an important 3rd down, or even a 4th? I got a suggestion.
