Shea Patterson, Michigan’s starting quarterback the last two seasons, had to wait longer than expected but has a new football home.
Patterson signed a free-agent deal with Kansas City on Sunday, according to his agent, Bryan Ehrlich of Priority Athletes. Michigan had 10 players selected in the recent NFL Draft, including first-round center Cesar Ruiz, and two quickly signed free-agent deals.
“He wasn’t a crybaby, he’s an NFL player, and you have to be tough to be an NFL quarterback,” Ehrlich told The Detroit News on Sunday.
