Spielman Interested In Patterson's Growth At Training Camp

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — With the 2016 Verizon Vikings Training Camp just days away, Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman is looking forward to seeing how a number of position groups progress in Mankato.

Spielman told Vikings.com that he’s interested in watching the wide receivers group, especially Cordarrelle Patterson.

The fourth-year player had two catches for 10 yards last season but excelled on special teams by leading the league with a kickoff return average of 31.8 yards and was the only player in the NFL to return two kickoffs for touchdowns.

“The one player that everybody is asking about is Cordarrelle Patterson,” Spielman said.
