Nicholls DB with limited public production, so the real read is on upside and fit
Publicly available game-stat data for Nicholls does not show a strong statistical profile for Robert Patterson yet, so he profiles more as an evaluation-based defensive back than a proven production leader. For a team, the key question is whether his on-field traits, practice competitiveness, and coverage reliability translate into depth value or special-teams upside; those are the differentiators that matter when the box score is thin. In other words, if Nicholls likes his toughness, football IQ, and development curve, he can still be a useful fit.
