Vikings | Greg Jennings praises Cordarrelle Patterson
Minnesota Vikings WR Greg Jennings echoed wide-ranging statements of how impressive WR Cordarrelle Patterson during offseason workouts. Jennings said that Patterson has ‘that definitive step,’ meaning a decisive, aggressive move near the top of a route that helps a receiver create separation. It’s not necessarily a recommended football move and is often corrected when a receiver is taught to make all his routes look the same in the NFL. However, it can be effective in the right setting as a pinpoint weapon, as it was for Jennings, he said.
