I tried to do some research on this guy.
-- He played LT at Nebraska the last couple of years, so he should be a decent athlete. He was a pretty highly-regarded DE and he was moved to guard, then eventually to tackle.
-- A lot of supplemental guys are there because they've had problems: Got kicked out of school, couldn't make their grades, drugs, etc. Patrick was on the Dean's List, so smarts aren't the problem. He said it was a combination of personal and family issues, whatever that means. Some think he got crossways with Callahan, but he's never been in trouble as far as anyone knows.
-- Opinions seem mixed on how good he is. Obviously, he's not great. But some thought he could be an okay developmental player.
Might he be worth a seventh? Is he better than Procter? I don't know. I kinda doubt it, but maybe. He's probably pretty similar. There were plenty of scouts at his workout.
