Riley Patterson, Memphis (5-foot-10½, 182, no 40, Round 6 or 7): Seized the job midway through the 2017 season and never looked back.
“Has a pretty strong leg,” one coach said. “One knock against him is he’s missed some important kicks. He hasn’t been quite as good in the clutch as some others.”
Made just 15 of 22 (68.2 percent) in 2020 after hitting 23 of 25 (92 percent) in ’19, including a bowl-record six in the Cotton Bowl.
“Didn’t have a great pro day,” another coach said. “He did not hit the ball great. He’s got plenty of leg strength. He hits a more true ball consistently than (Alex). He’s got a good head on his shoulders.”
Made 64 of 83 (77.1 percent) in his career, including nine of 18 from 50-plus and 17 of 23 from 40-49. Made 240 of 246 conversions. Averaged 61.0 yards on 295 kickoffs; touchback rate was 54.9%. From Edwardsville, Ill.
Serious Walsh vibe.
