Miles had the advantage of using an iconic name and having his own solo stories with said name. Not sure if Eli would be so lucky as Patriot, unless Marvel tried to push him as the new Captain America and actually allowed him to share the title with Steve permanently. I imagine that if he was created as Patriot today, he'd receive pretty much the same treatment Rayshaun has received, which is not horrible (he made it to Marvel Rising, after all), but it's not on the Miles level either.
