"Kings do King things"

We all know PP wore 7, but it didn't gain hype until he passed it to Mathieu and tbh Mathieu was better in his limited time. Was Patrick a Heisman finalist? ? Didn't think so.

Pat is the real #7. Tyrann wore it because of him. Leonard wears it for the 7th Ward.

2 very different players

PP was an outside, lock-down man corner

TM was a nickel back who got to blitz a lot and roam for tackles and big plays

man corners are never going to accumulate a ton of stats if they do their job well

both had some ridiculous returns

Very true, nice post SFP.

TM was in the position he was in as a heisman finalist bc he was able to roam around and be a playmaker and return punts. I have no doubt in my mind the same could be said for PP if he played the same roaming position as TM. Hell, PP was in the heisman race for a little just being a lock down corner and return man, now that's damn impressive.

Only stopping by to throw a shoutout to Trev Faulk, Ali Highsmith, and Rondell Mealey, who were some pretty damn awesome guys to wear 7 when I was growing up.
