Seems to be a smart and savvy player, but isn’t able to process quickly
Pressure affects him greatly
Overall Assessment
PRE-DRAFT: Patterson looks the part. He is a solid athlete with a fast release. He makes accurate passes when there is no pressure. Once there is any semblance of pressure, it all goes downhill. His struggles with processing on the fly prevents him from being a very good NFL prospect. His ceiling looks to be a backup quarterback, but that may be years away from now. Someone to keep an eye on (especially if he ends up drafted), but as of now he isn’t on my radar.
POST-DRAFT: Patterson was signed by the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent. He looks to be fourth in line right now and may just be an arm for camp. He does have some tools, so maybe they will decide to add him to their practice squad. Regardless, he isn’t someone you need to be adding to any of your rosters.
