While mistakes will happen, too many of those mistakes will keep Patterson exclusively on special teams. The mere fact that Patterson has not played with a quarterback as meticulous as Brady already makes him a better receiver.
In earning Brady’s trust, Patterson knows he has to be in the right places at the right time. Relying solely on his speed will get him nowhere in the New England Patriots offense.
