Detroit Lions wide receiver Tim Patrick entered training camp with high expectations after completing his first fully healthy offseason in years.<\/p>\n

After suffering a torn ACL in 2022 and a torn Achilles in 2023, Patrick spent the entire 2024 offseason rehabbing. He followed that up by playing in 16 games in his debut season in Detroit, finishing with 33 catches for 394 yards and three touchdowns. The veteran wideout also had a productive spring, yet he has struggled to find his rhythm thus far in camp.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s made his early-camp struggles all the more frustrating.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel great. That\u2019s why I\u2019m just frustrated that it\u2019s not showing right now, because in OTAs, it did,\u201d Patrick conveyed. \u201cTraining camp is a little different, I just gotta pick this \u2018s**t\u2019 up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patrick finds himself in the No. 3 slot on the Lions\u2019 wide receivers depth chart, which is headlined by All-Pro Amon-Ra St. Brown and rising talent Jameson Williams. Patrick, for one, believes that Williams is ready to take the next step and become an even more all-around receiver this upcoming season.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople looked at him as just a deep threat, but if you\u2019ve been watching this camp, he\u2019s run every single route,\u201d Patrick said of Williams. \u201cI think most of his routes have been short routes that he\u2019s been catching. So, everybody knew he could do it in the deep game, but now he\u2019s finding that short range and that\u2019s what\u2019s going to make him impossible to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Patrick, despite his slow start to camp, still believes he has what it takes to win his one-on-one battles against opposing defensive backs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy job is going to be easy,\u201d he said. \u201cI just gotta beat the number, what, 4 cornerback? I should win that every single time.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Patrick has experienced his fair share of challenges this summer, he\u2019s had little-to-no difficulty in picking up the concepts of new offensive coordinator John Morton. Patrick and Morton spent the 2023 season together with the Denver Broncos, before Patrick moved on to the Motor City a season ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was stuff he brought from Detroit to Denver and now back to Detroit again,\u201d the veteran receiver said of the concepts brought by Morton, who was a senior offensive assistant with the Lions in 2022. \u201cSo, there\u2019s some similarities from last year from Denver. It\u2019s pretty easy to pick up for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

While that has been the case with learning the playbook for Patrick, he has encountered a difficult time adjusting to the high-level intensity of Lions camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just not something I was accustomed to in my years of playing,\u201d Patrick said. \u201cSo, it\u2019s just something I got to pick up on. It\u2019s just new, that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s been a tough start, Patrick’s veteran savvy and knowledge of Morton\u2019s system should prove valuable as the regular season nears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
