Strengths

Jarrett Patterson is very athletic especially with his foot quickness, explosiveness, and strength. The most impressive part about him athletically, is his balance and due to his strong posture. Jarrett can quickly get into a proper blocking stance quickly because of his posture it gives him leverage when blocking defenders. He is quick with his movement in the L.O.S and can open holes. Especially with his awareness when blocking out in space. He can mirror the defenders moves and be an anchor on the o-line. Jarrett is extremely competitive and plays with a strong level of football intelligence.

Weaknessess

Patterson does need to improve on his flexibility as on occasion he has a habit of overextending himself when making blocks. He is decent at pulling to the outside of the line but needs to focus on his footwork as at times can get sloppy. He needs to improve with the counter moves from defenders on their second attempt. Patterson can be sloppy and slow with his hand usage. He needs to focus on punching faster and with handling stunts from defenders. Durability is a concern as he did suffer through a foot injury during the 2020 season.

Big Picture

Jarrett Patterson has the tools to become a starting interior offensive lineman in the NFL. Especially with his athleticism as he has good foot quickness, explosiveness, and strength when blocking defenders. The most impressive part of Jarrett Patterson's athleticism involves his balance. Mainly because he has the posture that any team would want in an offensive lineman which provides leverage when he is blocking defenders. He is extremely quick when moving in the L.O.S and can easily open up holes in the o-line which helps with the run game in any offense. He has strong awareness which helps when tracking defenders while he is lead blocking out in space. He has a strong ability to mirror defenders and can be an anchor on the o-line. He plays with extreme competitiveness and a strong level of football intelligence. A big benefit is that he has strong position versatility as a Guard and Center. He even was a tackle at one point coming into Notre Dame's athletic program as a freshman. He does need to improve on his flexibility as he can overextend himself at times during blocks. He does need to clean up his footwork and hand usage as it can be sloppy at times when blocking defenders. Jarrett needs to speed up the way he punches his hands into blocking position as he can be slow on occasion. Durability is a concern as he did suffer through a foot injury during the 2020 season but it is his only injury to date. Jarrett Patterson has the potential of being a top 20 1st round prospect if he cleans up his weaknesses and stays healthy. As of now I have Jarrett Patterson projected to go in the late 1st or early 2nd round of the draft.
