Lost in all the shuffle about the impressive seasons of Houston Texans rookies C.J. Stroud, Will Anderson, and Tank Dell is the Texans’ sixth round pick out of Notre Dame Jarrett Patterson.
Considering he was supposed to spend this season on the bench behind Juice Scruggs and Scott Quessenberry, Patterson has held his own on the field. He’s registered a 60.4 rating in PFF and is one of two linemen so far this season who has yet to give up a sack on Stroud (with Tytus Howard being the other lineman). So it’s not like he’s been a traffic cone on the line.
