On paper, Patterson has the size, strength and upside to become an in-line tight end on the next level. However, he’s missed a number of games over the last two years due to injury, so proving his durability will be the priority. He played in Air Force’s option attack, so he’s well-versed at angles; he just needs to work on his hand placement and drive-blocking moving forward. He can grab catches here and there, but his best chance to make a team will be with his run-blocking -- and by maintaining his health.
