Quincy Patterson brings short-yardage power and dual-threat upside to Temple
Patterson is a physically imposing, downhill quarterback whose biggest value comes from his rushing threat and red-zone usefulness, not pure passing volume; at Temple, he has been used heavily in short-yardage situations and, in 2023, led the team with 4 rushing touchdowns while producing a 113-yard rushing start, the most by a Temple QB since 2011[9]. He also has a track record of high-impact spurts at Virginia Tech and North Dakota State, which suggests a runner-first QB with enough live-game experience to handle a physical offense, though his passing efficiency has been inconsistent over time[3][14].
