49ers' Quinton Patton: Early favorite to win starting WR job

Patton is the early favorite to win a starting receiver role, CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

Patton hasn't done a whole lot in his three seasons with the 49ers, but he is the de facto favorite to win a starting role alongside Torrey Smith due to a crop of young and unproven receivers behind him. This is by no means a final decision, and things could change when training camp opens and the preseason begins.
