INDIANAPOLIS -- These Colts practices have Dezmon Patmon feeling like a rookie and a veteran at the same time.
On one hand, they're his first offseason practices in an NFL uniform. The pitfalls of being a 2020 draft pick meant losing two springs of playbook installation, and individual and team drills to work on the fundamentals of route running before the hits arrive.
On the other, he's 23 years old and in his third season, which makes him onf the older end of Colts wide receivers.
Pressure and opportunity both exist on the spectrum, but for now, Patmon is consumed by the latter.
