Patterson was a long-time assistant under Mike Zimmer, serving as the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive line coach since 2014.
Zimmer gave Patterson the co-defensive coordinator title in 2020 and also the assistant head coach title in 2021.
Patterson replaces Sean Spencer as the Giants defensive line coach. Spencer was the team’s D-Line coach for the past two seasons, but took the co-defensive coordinator job at the University of Florida in January.
