A veteran Cougars safety with proven football instincts
DeWayne Patterson’s value comes from veteran savvy, physical play, and a defense-first mindset rather than splashy numbers. In his Washington State career, he appeared in 10 games in the 2005 season, started twice, and contributed on special teams as well as at safety, with his game notes highlighting him as an “Assassin” and “Ironman” award winner for standout weekly effort. He’s the type of player coaches like when they want reliability, toughness, and a dependable tone-setter in the secondary.
