Vikings coach Leslie Frazier already likes what he sees from rookie receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, reports the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
"In particular, carrying the football, he's dynamic," Frazier said. "He has the vertical speed to get behind defensive backs. That won't be an issue. That’s going to give us a dimension we didn't have a year ago. But where he's electric is when you get him the ball on a bubble screen or a reverse or a hitch or a slant. He's pretty special."
The report says the Vikings face two challenges with Patterson: getting a player with one year of major college experience to learn an NFL offense, and deciding how much to use him.
"He's hungry," Frazier said. "And I think he's maturing in some areas. It’s still early, but for these first couple of days, I like what I'm seeing."
