Jenkins: WHAT HE BRINGS Jenkins is a smooth route-runner with good size and the top-end speed to stretch the field vertically. In addition, he shows soft hands and good body control. However, for him to take the next step to be an upper-echelon wide receiver, he must get stronger in traffic. Quicker than fast and doesn't have the second gear to climb over the top of the coverage but fast enough to get downfield and tracks the deep ball well. Sells double moves and quickly gets behind defensive back when he bites. Average elusiveness and flashes the ability to make the first defender miss. Catches the ball in stride and fast enough to rip off a chunk of yards when gets a seam but doesn't appear to have breakaway speed. Ball rarely gets to frame. Attacks it and snatches it out of the air. Can extend arms and catch passes thrown above head. Flashes the ability to make highlight-type catches. Absorbs big hits and holds onto the ball. Fastballs can give him some problems though. Patton: Patton is one of the more polished route runners of the entire class. He shows quick feet to gain a clean release, and while he lacks elite top-end speed and burst out of cuts, he does a nice job of working defenders in his stem to gain separation. Patton flashes ability to come down with the tough catch outside of his frame, but he needs to get stronger and show better focus at times both in traffic and battling for contested throws. Admittedly too many drops in the 2012 Utah State game and doesn't catch the ball in traffic well in that game but uncharacteristic performance. Showed above average ball skills overs the course of six-game evaluation. Catches the ball in stride. Extends arm and snatches ball out of the air on passes thrown above head. Tracks the ball and shows above average concentration looking it in. Above average body control and does a nice job of adjusting to back shoulder passes. Can get low and scoop shoe-top passes. Has enough speed challenge and compete for 50-50 balls downfield but not going to run by NFL corners and doesn't have the second gear to take the top off the coverage when doesn't get a clean release. Above average instincts and vision after the catch. Can plant foot in the ground and make the first defender miss. Doesn't have the second gear to run away from NFL pursuit when gets a seam either.
