Thomas Patton brings pass-rush juice and inside-out flexibility for UCLA
Thomas Patton’s UCLA profile is built on disruption: he was described as an impressive pass rusher who kept improving in spring practice and could line up inside or outside, a useful trait for any defense that wants a flexible DT/edge hybrid. His value is less about gaudy stat lines and more about leverage, motor, and assignment versatility—exactly the kind of trench piece that can raise a unit’s ceiling. If you want a tough, developmental defender with alignment chess pieces and upside, Patton is the kind of fit coaches usually love.
