Spent five years at TCU but didn’t become a starter until 2022. “That’s the wild card for me,” said one scout. “With this guy, you see him in the slot, you see him in the backfield, in motion. He is a height-weight-speed guy. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him slip into the first round. Would it be a little crazy? Probably, because he doesn’t have the resume, but he’s got a big upside.

He’s Cordarrelle Patterson. He’s got no polish but you see him elevate for a ball and you see him catch a bubble and take it to the house. You see him run an angle (route) out of the backfield and catch it and run to the house. If I didn’t have a quarterback and was trying to figure out a way to manufacture some offense, I’m all over this guy. He could go 25 to 45.” Four-star recruit played quarterback as a senior in Marshall, Texas. Also lettered in basketball and track. Returned kickoffs as a freshman only (22.3, 14 returns).

“He’s big, he’s fast, he’s tough,” another scout said. “But he does not know how to play football. He can’t run routes, No. 1. He just falls all the time. He doesn’t have a good feel for it. Doesn’t have good body control. He always falls, and he can’t catch. I’ve never seen a guy drop more. Then they put him out at running back and he just doesn’t have the vision. I’ve never seen someone run into tackles more than he does or run out of bounds. He goes to the place you’re not supposed to go.” Caught 137 passes for 1,655 (12.1) and 14 TDs to go with 62 rushes for 384 (6.2) and six TDs. Played 52 games.

They are restocking the WR room. Golden, Reed, Doubs and Williams will lead the way. Wicks and Heath will fit for scraps. Watson will work like a mad man to get back on the field. If his daddy didn't like Golden he will hate Williams even more. It's conceivable the Packers are ready to move on from both Doubs and Watson at the end of the season.

My concern with elite physical talents that have not developed at all... do they really care about the sport? If yes, then why in the hell aren't they more developed?

Sometimes there is a good answer, like they struggle in school, and SERIOUSLY had to fight hard to keep their grades up so they could keep playing, and they just couldn't do both (which isn't great)... but it's a heck of a lot better than a number of players like this, that they were too busy working on their rap careers instead of focusing on and developing in football.

Or you know, the Sam Shields answer, their coaches SUPPOSEDLY NEVER showed them film, or pointed out how he could improve... Note: I believe that was Shields talking about his college DB coach, which he was on the offensive side until maybe his last year?

But I want to know why, he hasn't been able to develop more as a WR with all his freak amazing talents.


But IF the Packers can develop him, he could potentially be the steal of the draft.... but that IF is a huge one.
