With Emmanuel Sanders’ Week 1 status in question, there’s ample opportunity for young receivers to make an impression on the new coaching staff through camp. No player has as much to gain from E’s absence as Patrick, and from here it looks like he’ll serve as no lower than WR4 in 2019.
From there it comes down to health luck, scheme, and making the most of his targets...
I wrote these words about Tim Patrick a year ago. Unfortunately Patrick’s opportunity to break out never really came to fruition due to both Emmanuel Sanders’ impressive return to health and Patrick’s own week one hand injury.
