So what's the knock on this guy
Some mentions that he doesn't hold the ball right at times, he isn't fast
We let go of Dee Virgin for a big jock, I hope he balls out when he gets on the field

He was in the same backfield as Dalvin Cook and Sam Akers at Florida State and the Seminoles didn't change the play calls when he got into games. Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor is a disciple of Sean McVay, who is a disciple of Mike and Kyle Shanahan, so he was running the same outside zone plays with the Bengals that he'll run with the 49ers.
That was the attraction to Patrick. The 49ers saw him have a strong preseason and know it won't take him long to get up to speed with their system. He arrived in the Bay Area on Tuesday and the plan is to get him on the field Wednesday so the 49ers have the option of suiting him up Sunday if need be.
Hmmmm....you sound like someone.

Looks legit. Better than a poke in the eye a burnt stick.

He ran a 4.69 at his pro day 
At least he will be good for goal line carries and he caught a lot of balls in college

the first of many signings. I expect about 4 more in the next two weeks. Is cap gonna hurt this process?
At this pace someone may need to restructure.

What I'm hearing is that ball security is a concern? Hasty already has that problem. I hope Bobby T coaches him up. If he can get 4-5 yards every carry while bruising the defense it'll help a lot. But thats assuming he's up to snuff with the nfl. But that big body is intriguing. I don't expect him breaking any runs but with how much Kyle wants to rest the defense long drives with a big back running over defenses is ideal.

Beat up the defense with a big guy, then send in speed to finish them off. Hope it works.

That would be nice but maybe give him a couple weeks to actually learn how the hell to play in this offense first.

I'm liking this guy, he's big and seems durable. Hopefully he can thrive and we end up with a gem.
