Jaret Patterson Highlights
Jaret Patterson NFL Draft Profile
Strengths
Jaret Patterson is very quick on his feet. He can get away from the line in a hurry and can gain yards after contact when needed too. He is also able to move side to side well and possesses a great juke move. At Buffalo, he was able to play every down when called upon.
Weaknesses
Patterson is on the below-average side of this year’s running back class when it comes to size. This will be the primary factor that causes many teams to look away. In addition, when you take away his acceleration, his speed is not that great. A 4.53-second time in the 40-yard dash is slow in comparison to the other backs.
