Agreed. CP just had that play making ability that Hunter lacked. To answer your question the last receiver I remember being elite.... I want to say Robert Meachem ?
The fact that Patterson was the best player maker in all of college football makes him an elite wide receiver. If you are lining up at the wide receiver position and getting in the endzone you are doing your job as a wide receiver.
End around is still a player from the wide receiver position and should be taken into consideration. I would take a whole team of average wide receivers if the avg over 15 yards a touch and had over 1000 yards and 8 touchdowns in their one year of SEC football.Nope. His WR numbers are very pedestrian. His end arounds and kick returns is what made him. His route running was average as were his hands. CP was not a great WR.
He was first team all SECDa'rick never did anything in a UT uniform that was elite so I am not going to count a guy that did not produce at all. Patterson was talented and great in space once he caught it or if he was returning punts or kicks which he was better at than Wr. He wasn't a elite Wr because he is a horrible route runner and a average pass catcher and quite frankly not very physical. Elite means you can do it all, neither were elite performers they were elite potiential. Tennessee has had great recievers in their history, many on here are too young to even remember or have seen them. McGee, Gault, Miller, Clinkscales, Fleming, Morgan, Price, I could go on for awhile.
