Patterson Plays Bigger Than His Numbers
By Ed Thompson

Posted Apr 15, 2007
As NFL teams evaluate college players to determine which ones are the best fit for their 2007 rosters, one person that they've got to be seeing as the type of player who would fit in well on any team is Ohio State defensive lineman David Patterson.
Looking at his collegiate career and the role he played in the Buckeye's success during that span, you quickly learn that Patterson is the ultimate team player--versatile, humble, and more concerned about his team's success than getting a chance to stand in the spotlight.
"The thing I'm most proud of is winning two Big Ten championships," Patterson said during his recent interview. "I'm especially proud of the one this year because it was our first outright Big Ten championship since 1984, so that was very special to me."
Cont'd ...

OSU defensive tackle David Patterson might have come out the best of the undrafted bunch as he joined the Atlanta Falcons.
``It was a feeding frenzy,'' said Patterson's agent, Jonathan Feinsod. ``He ended up being the highest-paid (undrafted) free agent this year.''
Feinsod said Patterson fared better by getting to choose from multiple offers rather than being the 240th player taken.
``Neither one is making the headlines as a strong possibility for rookie of the year and each has the same opportunity of making the team,'' Feinsod said. ``We got the best of both worlds.''

Looks like the main reason for the slow news coming on Patterson was because he was choosing the best offer - highest paid undrafted FA? That is some nice ointment to put on the hurt of not being taken on Day 2.

I am glad we gave him the money...He was worth a 5th round draft pick, and I will gladly take him as a udfa...
Especially with our starting dt getting hurt in a boating accident, and the way our d-line seems to get injured every year, he will see some time...

Mini-camp ends without Williams
By Steve Wyche | Wednesday, April 16, 2008, 02:29 PM
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The final day of the Falcons three-day mini-camp Wednesday was by far the most entertaining and spirited.
There were two lively dustups in a team drill featuring offensive tackle Harvey Dahl vs. middle linebacker Tony Taylor and Dahl vs. defensive tackle David Patterson. After the second scrap, which was pretty heated, players really got after each other.

Patterson was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Falcons on May 1, 2007. The Ohio State graduate spent the 2007 campaign on the injured reserve list with a foot injury.
