Rookie Mini Camp

Figured we might as well have a dedicated thread.

This didn't seem right:

Ten of the 11 players drafted by the 49ers were on the field Friday, with the exception of wide receiver Quinton Patton, who isn’t allowed to participate for another week or so until his college class graduates.

I thought you could attend the mini camp regardless of when graduation is. It's only OTAs you have to graduate to attend.

Not only that but when he bought his plane ticket Harbaugh said come back in a week, on our dime, for the rookie minicamp... Seems wrong to me too

I heard Patton actually missed his flight because he buried his I.D in his luggage.

They corrected it...

"... All 11 players drafted by the 49ers were on the field Friday, though wide receiver Quinton Patton has to leave after the final practice Sunday and can’t return until his college class graduates..."

He missed the flight and caught another one that got him here on time for today's practice.

Any news on how they looked

Haven't seen any yet. I think reporters are only allowed into one practice. I'd think maybe tomorrow's or we would have heard something by now?

* Top draft pick Eric Reid looked as athletic and fluid as advertised. Of course, there is no hitting at this minicamp, so Reid couldn't show off one of his strongest qualities - that of the enforcer across the middle. But he looked good going in reverse and nearly came up with an interception on a crossing-pattern run by tight end MarQueis Gray.

hey now!

better than reading out of shape, slow, looks lost, etc.

Such news will make our little Lions Troll a little sad inside.

The one thing that caught my eye in that link was Anthony Davis' older brother trying out, so I googled and found this article.

First day of rookie camp (they're veritable fetuses) but it's certainly nice to hear positives. Especially at the WR and PR spots.

I actually read the whole article before I realized it was Grant Cohn...what the hell? Is he trying to save his drivel for the regular season or is this a reformed GC?

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Only time Cohn is useful is when he gives his opinion on practices.
