Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Works hard on and off the field. Good strength throughout, fluid body control, and natural movement kills.
  • Looks and runs like a lanky receiver. High-cut, long and lean frame. Deceptive speed and enough quickness to separate.
  • Good vision to set up blocks and while Patterson isn't quick enough to elude in tight quarters, and take advantage of a defender leaning to spring for additional yardage.
  • Has extremely good, soft, natural hands. Consistently makes the clean catch.
  • Soft, reliable hands center the big target for quarterbacks. Shields the defense and will let the ball into his pads to protect it when about to absorb a big hit over the middle.
  • Patterson is a natural playmaker, at his best with the ball in his hands.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Is a bit high-hipped and slow to get rolling. Frame limits upside as a blocker.
  • Patterson also lacks suddenness as a route runner, and that is a potential issue at the next level.
  • Patterson seems comfortable in traffic to the point where Patterson doesn’t make the effort to create separation.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
