Patterson shows early signs of being a true shutdown-type defensive back with his length and physical presence on the outside. He plays with confidence at the line of scrimmage and isn’t afraid to challenge receivers in press coverage. His ball skills stand out, especially when tracking the football downfield and attacking at the catch point. Patterson also shows a willingness to support the run, stepping downhill and finishing tackles in space. As he continues to develop his footwork and route recognition, his coverage consistency will only improve. The upside is clear for Patterson to become a dominant boundary defender as he matures.
