Benny Patterson

Versatile defender along the front who plays with a crazed effort level while showing elite run and chase ability. Checks in at an unverified, 6-foot-2, 240 pounds. Often played on the interior of his high school team’s defensive front, but could project on the edge at the next level. Plays with legitimate hair-on-fire play effort. Has a real top gear that pops off the film, showing sideline-to-sideline range. Disruptive and violent at the point of attack. Finished his senior season with 14 tackles for loss and 7 sacks. Posted a 45+ shot put toss in track and field. A bit of a tweener size-wise and his ultimate position remains up in the air. Can play high at times. Younger for the class, turning 18 years old in May of his senior year of high school.
