CSN Bay Area says 49ers fourth-round WR Quinton Patton is "nowhere close to being ready" to contribute.
Route running was supposed to be Patton's bread and butter, but he showed poorly on patterns at 49ers rookie camp. He tends to get a bit anxious and will tip his routes. It's a flaw that can be coached up, so it's not a long-term concern. Patton should compete for No. 3 receiver duties as a rookie. May 11 - 3:29 PM

Quinton Patton - WR - 49ers

49ers coach Jim Harbaugh says fourth-round WR Quinton Patton reminds him of himself.

In an ego-driven business, there couldn't be a higher compliment. Harbaugh made the comment in reference to Patton's ill-fated trip to 49ers' team headquarters last week. Patton flew to San Francisco on his own, unaware that draft picks aren't allowed to visit more than 24 hours after the draft. "The fact that he would buy his own ticket and fly out here, to me, just speaks volumes about him," Harbaugh said. "I love it. I can't wait." Patton's college coach, Sonny Dykes, said he'd often have to order Patton to stop practicing because he was pushing himself too hard. Patton is going to give 2012 first-rounder A.J. Jenkins a run for his money as they duke it out for No. 3 duties.

Quinton Patton - WR - 49ers

49ers fourth-round WR Quinton Patton is expected to get a chance on both kick and punt returns.

Patton was not used on returns while at Louisiana Tech last season, probably because he was busy catching 104 passes and 13 touchdowns. The Niners are looking for a return man after Ted Ginn Jr. signed with the Panthers in free agency. Patton is also expected to give A.J. Jenkins all he can handle as they battle for snaps behind starters Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin.

Quinton Patton - WR - 49ers

49ers selected Louisiana Tech WR Quinton Patton with the No. 128 overall pick.

Patton (6-foot, 204) blew up for 1,392 yards and 13 touchdowns on 104 receptions (13.4 YPR) as a senior. Not an outstanding athlete, Patton managed a 4.53 forty and 33-inch vertical at the Combine. With sure hands, toughness, and smooth routes, Patton drew pre-draft comparisons to Reggie Wayne but openly likens himself to Chad Johnson. Rotoworld draft columnist Alen Dumonjic's No. 1-rated receiver in the entire draft, Patton will open his career competing for playing time with A.J. Jenkins behind Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin.

Quinton Patton - WR - 49ers

According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Ty Dunne, the Seahawks have been showing interest in Louisiana Tech WR Quinton Patton since the 2011 season.

The Journal-Sentinel did a feature piece on Patton for Saturday morning's editions. Patton put himself on the draft radar in 2011 by catching 79 passes for 1,202 yards and 11 touchdowns, before improving on each of those marks as a senior. He's a second-day talent. Seattle could view Patton as competition for Golden Tate, or even Sidney Rice's eventual replacement at Z receiver.

Quinton Patton - WR - 49ers

Among this year's draft-eligible receiver prospects with at least 100 targets in 2012, Louisiana Tech's Quinton Patton had the best (lowest) drop rate at 0.9 percent.

Patton dropped just three balls among 158 senior-year targets. The best drop rate was actually posted by Marshall's Aaron Dobson, who had zero drops among 92 targets. Patton's percentage remains impressive for a 6-foot, 202-pound prospect who's drawn pre-draft comparisons to Indianapolis' Reggie Wayne.

Quinton Patton - WR - 49ers

Louisiana Tech WR Quinton Patton ran forty times of 4.46 and 4.50 at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Patton happens to be Rotoworld draft analyst Alen Dumonjic's No. 1-rated receiver in the 2013 class. A quicker-than-fast and savvy route runner, Patton's forty times are respectable for a wide receiver drawing some comparisons to Colts WR Reggie Wayne. Dumonjic believes Patton compares to Patriots WR Brandon Lloyd, and broke down some of Patton's tape in late October at the link below.
