This stat backs up why Notre Dame’s Patterson is so highly thought of

Impressive

The Fighting Irish offensive line is going to be one of their strengths for this upcoming season the leader of the group being [autotag]Jarrett Patterson[/autotag]. The pre-season All-American has left no doubt in many minds that he is one of the best, if not the best, interior offensive lineman in the country.

As the season is set to begin this weekend for a few teams, the greatness of few players is being highlighted by Pro Football Focus and recently it was Patterson’s turn. As PFF pointed out, during his career in South Bend, Patterson has had 1,306 pass block snaps and has not allowed a single sack.

That is one impressive statistic, especially for an offensive lineman. It shows many that not only is the pre-season accolades warranted, that if Patterson continues this trend, some post-season hardware could be headed his way.
