It’s been something of a bumpy road for former Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson.
After coming to Ann Arbor in 2018 after spending his first two years at Ole Miss, Patterson took a little while to get acclimated to Pep Hamilton’s offense. He wasn’t asked to do too much, but was stellar in the daunting three-game stretch against Wisconsin, MSU and Penn State. The slow breakdown of teams worked against most, but not Ohio State nor Florida, but with Josh Gattis taking over as offensive coordinator in 2019, it seemed better things were on the horizon for the former five-star.
However, Patterson sustained an injury on his first play from scrimmage, and the passing game didn’t take off until midseason. By the end of the year, he was thriving, as the first quarterback in Michigan history to have three-straight games with more than 300 yards passing.
But, when draft day came, Patterson’s name was uncalled. In fact, he didn’t get an opportunity until a week after the draft, when Kansas City finally picked him up as an undrafted free agent. However, it didn’t last long as he was cut over the summer.
Now, he may have another shot, as it’s reported that he got a workout on Tuesday with the Houston Texans.

Patterson, in just two years, has the seventh-best career passing record in a Michigan uniform. He also is sixth and eighth in completions, and has two of the best single seasons in Wolverines history, with the No. 2 year for the program with 3,061 yards in 2019 and No. 9 with 2,600 in 2018.
