Mike Patrick remains a Navy-style bruiser with a proven blue-collar fit
Mike Patrick is best known as a compact, physical fullback who fits Navy’s grind-it-out identity: ESPN lists him as Navy’s No. 29 fullback, and Sports-Reference shows he logged 96 rushing yards on 15 carries in the 2011 season for a healthy 6.4 yards per carry. That’s the kind of low-glamour, high-impact role that matters when a team wants toughness, leverage, and dependable assignment football. If you value a fullback who brings discipline and contact over flash, Patrick is exactly the archetype.
