Re: Which Viking Rookie Will Contribute the Most, Year One?

I think so too and with his talent, he's a real wildcard. He might struggle to adapt to the pros or he might be rookie of the year. It's hard to know what to expect but I agree, that they'll be looking for big plays from Patterson. I'm eager to see what Musgrave comes up with to give him those big play opportunities.losperros wrote:
I go along with your reasoning, Jim. I think Rhodes sees the most playing time, though I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Hodges ends up starting at one of the LB positions.
OTOH, speaking of dark horses, Patterson just might have more plays making high light reels, if you know what I mean. It all depends on how many *big* plays he puts up and I believe he will do that, particularly as a returner but also occasionally as a receiver. I believe that's what the Vikings are going to be looking for from Patterson as they develop him as a WR.
