When it comes evaluating just how young players will make their impact on the team, Matt Patricia says it’s all about their consistency.
Give a player a position or package to try out—don’t ask him to do too much, but see how he handles it. If he makes it over that hurdle and can do that job day in and day out, see what else he can handle.
And that’s been his strategy when it comes to rookie defensive back Tracy Walker as the player begins to find out where he fits in with the team.
