Princeton linebacker with old-school instincts and Ivy League grit
Jess Patton is best known for being a physical, assignment-sound linebacker for Princeton, with a track record of contributing in the run game and finishing with 11 career tackles and 2 tackles for loss during Princeton’s 2011-2013 stretch. The fit appeal is the steady, no-drama profile: he was trusted enough to rotate into the linebacker group, make tackles against quality opponents, and hold up in an Ivy League championship environment. For a team that values toughness, discipline, and reliable inside play, Patton’s profile screams dependable glue guy rather than flashy stat-sheet monster.
