Unlike many peers who rely solely on size, Patton differentiates with quick first-step explosiveness and a personality that fuels team morale through sheer work ethic. Though he played only four games in 2025, his injury history is clean, and his intensity level remains elite. He’s a perfect fit for teams seeking a high-motor DL who brings both physicality and leadership. Why care? Because Patton doesn’t just play—he dominates with heart.
