News and Notes:
Patton played two seasons at Louisiana Tech after beginning his college career at Coffeyville Community College in southeastern Kansas … Mississippi State CB Johnthan Banks, a potential first-round pick this year, called Patton the best WR he’s played against: ”I feel like (Quinton Patton) from Louisiana Tech is the best receiver I’ve played against since I’ve been here. I’ve gone against some good ones in the SEC, too, but he’s probably the most complete.” … Caught 21 passes for 233 yards and four touchdowns against Texas A&M in 2012 … Was named All-Western Athletic Conference First Team in both 2011 and 2012 … In the Poinsettia Bowl, players were given $300 Best Buy gift cards, but Patton gave his to kids participating in the Make-A-Wish Foundation … During his time at Coffeyville CC, Patton served as the punter and averaged 39.8 yards per attempt … Packers met with Patton Jan. 25 at the Senior Bowl.
What they’re saying about him:
- NFL.com: “Used on quick throws to take advantage of his shiftiness and surprisingly tough running, lowers his shoulder and is not easy for smaller cornerbacks to drag down after the catch … Shows fight as a run blocker, willing to hit multiple punches to keep his man at bay and works himself into the correct blocking angle. Hustles downfield to help out fellow ballcarriers. Plays with a feisty attitude.”
