The festivities and practice sessions running up to the 2020 Senior Bowl are in full swing, and the New Orleans Saints are in attendance. This is the first opportunity many coaches and front office personnel will have to scout the prospects in this year’s NFL Draft, so it’s important for these rookies-to-be to make a strong first impression.

Walter Football’s Charlie Campbell reported that the Saints were active in meeting with players from both the North Team and South Team, but we shouldn’t look too deeply into these brief conversations. Often it’s just an opportunity to touch base with a player and maybe get their phone number to schedule a more in-depth interview later on. Eventually, every team meets with just about every prospect.

QB Shea Patterson, Michigan

Patterson, 6-foot-1 and 204 pounds, appeared in just 10 games at Ole Miss during his first two years before transferring to Michigan, where he completed more passes (424) than he attempted in his first stop (392). In his career, Patterson went 662-of-1,098 (60.3%) for 8,800 passing yards, scoring 68 touchdowns against 27 interceptions. He’s been an inconsistent asset on the ground, never averaging better than 4.1 yards per carry or running more than 87 times in a season. He’s very much a pocket passer and has a lot to prove at this all-star game.
