Expert Analysis
Hunter Tierney | Prep Redzone Scout
Patterson is as physical as they come in the secondary. He doesn’t just play hard — he plays with a chip on his shoulder, always looking to separate the ball from the man. You can tell he enjoys the contact side of the game. Whether it’s coming in to make a hit on or coming up to fill an open gap, he brings that aggressive edge that coaches love in a DB. He’s also got the kind of makeup speed that gives him a chance on plays where others might be beat. If a receiver gets behind him, it’s not the end of the world — Patterson can close that gap quickly and still make a play on the ball. That recovery speed combined with his physicality makes him tough to beat over the top. If there’s one area for growth, it’s getting just a little quicker on his initial breaks. Sometimes he waits a half-beat too long to trust what he sees. But that’s the kind of thing that comes with reps and confidence — and the instincts are already clearly there. When he gets a clean look at the ball, his hands are strong and reliable. He secures the catch like a receiver, and that makes him a real threat when the ball is in the air. Patterson is a name worth watching as he continues to fine-tune his game.
