Receiver/return man Cordarrelle Patterson "could be the Vikings' next iteration of Percy Harvin, and will likely be the team's starting split end for years to come," reports ESPN.com. Patterson caught 45 passes for 469 yards and four touchdowns despite playing limited snaps early in his rookie season.
He looks "like a star in the making," the report said. Of course, it's unclear who'll be throwing to Patterson in 2014.
