The Indianapolis Colts announced today that they have signed undrafted free agent cornerback Eric Patterson.
At 5’9″, 178 pounds, Patterson played his collegiate football for Ball State. Last season before a season-ending injury, he recorded 49 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 27 passes defensed in 9 starts. His exceptional play garnered him All-Mid-American Conference Third-Team honors.
NFL.com’s Gil Brandt had previously noted that Patterson had a good pro day workout:
“Cornerback Eric Patterson (5-9 1/4, 197) ran the 40 in 4.5 and 4.53 seconds,” writes Brandt.
