SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson had just 446 snaps last season but finished tied for 20^th with 10 missed tackles among wide receivers. Nobody had fewer snaps in the top 20 than Patterson, with Bengals wide receiver Marvin Jones with the second fewest snaps, 555, and just 13 missed tackles. Former Seahawks and current Lions wide receiver Golden Tate led the lead with 21 missed tackles in 790 snaps. Patterson should receive double the amount of snaps he got last year and has a chance to lead wide receivers in that category.
