Julian Patton 5' 9" 150lbs. SS/FS 2012

We'll say one thing about Julian Patton he's a scrapper. This is one pesky little player who is undersized and is probably quicker than he is fast, but he has great feet, is aggressive, plays bigger than his size and always seems to be around the ball. Shows quick feet and good overall athletic ability. Does not lose much in transition. Stays balanced in his pedal and shows good initial burst out of it. He is instinctive and does a good job of reading quarterbacks' eyes in zone. He is actually a nice fit over the slot as a nickel. Fills pretty hard versus the run and could develop into a

decent run-support cornerback, despite being small. Ball skills are good, even with his size has the ability to make plays.  He is a short strider he looks  fluid in his movements. Able to cover bigger receivers  they may try to outmuscle him but they can't. Overall, Julian  has a lot of good qualities, he's a fun and exciting player to watch. ..........................        Intangibles                        9 ...    Athleticism                        8      Size                        7   ...  Strength                        8      Quickness                        8      Ball Skills                        9      Speed                        8      Reads                        8      Potential                         8      Technique                         8 Overall score   81
