Washington Times, reports
Washington Redskins WR
David Patten discussed the additions of WR
Antwaan Randle El and WR
Brandon Lloyd during the offseason. Patten said, "That said to me, 'Maybe D.P. is getting older. Maybe he doesn't have it anymore. Maybe D.P.'s not the answer,'? I have to prove every day that D.P. still has it. All the so-called experts are counting me out, but the cameras [that tape the ongoing organized team activities] don't lie. Our coaches know what D.P. is capable of doing." Head coach
Joe Gibbs called Patten after signing those two players and told him he would play the best guy. Patten has no problems backing up Lloyd or Randle El if they prove to be better than him.
Patten isn't mad and he won't be cut...and for some reason he talks in the 3rd person
