I'm saying I don't want to take this thread any further off the track than its already going, but for some reason you want to characterize me as combative and start taking the tangent out further. If that is your prerogative, feel free to do so as it really doesn't matter to me. I'm not taking the bait as I have no ill will or intentions towards you or anybody on this board that I can think of.
My position is that a UDFA in Patterson possibly making the team and that I think lots of NFL teams of late have found successful UDFA or later round picks to be productive WR's. I don't think the Steelers are significantly unique in that regard. I'm actually surprised that nobody has mentioned New England, as they always seem to find guys like Amendola, Chris Hogan, Brandon Lafell, Wes Welker, etc that become productive WR, seemingly above their expectations.
