Las Vegas Raiders: One draft prospect to target from each top-25 program

There was a two-week stretch where Buffalo’s Jaret Patterson put up what can only be described as video game numbers. 301 yards with four touchdowns against Bowling Green State and then 409 yards with an NCAA record-tying eight touchdowns next week versus Kent State.

The man was playing NCAA 14 in real life on these teams.

Patterson is undersized (5’9) but runs hard and knows how to use his size to find running lanes. And despite not being used very often, he seems like he could be a good option out of the backfield on passing downs with his quickness.

Don’t expect him to be running for 300 plus yards in the NFL, but Patterson could certainly be part of a running back committee for the Raiders if they’re looking for that type of player late on day 3.

Las Vegas Raiders cannot afford to miss in free agency again in 2021. dark. Next
