When the San Francisco 49ers opened last Thursday’s OTA session, the media was greeted by an aerial display.
Wide receiver Quinton Patton found himself on the receiving end of a 50-yard touchdown pass from Colin Kaepernick in the opening team period. The wide receiver lined up on the right and ran a deep post, getting behind safeties Eric Reid and Antoine Bethea before hauling in the perfect throw from Kaepernick.
“Perfect throw. Perfect catch. Perfect touchdown to start the day off right,” Patton said.
The highlight-reel play was followed by a brief touchdown celebration, which Patton joked about following practice.
