  Draft Scout by Conference









  This is the season when Patterson truly has the opportunity to make a name for himself. Not that he hasn't done that, as he's helped the Bulls become one of the MAC's consistent winning programs. The senior from Glenn Dale, Md., is a two-year captain for UB, and was the team's leading tackler last season, when he was named a first-team All-Mid-American Conference selection at inside linebacker. He has been added to the Butkus Award watch list for best linebacker in college football, and the Bednarik Award watch list for the best defensive player in college football.

This is the year, though, where he will reiterate that he is more than just Jaret Patterson's twin brother. "I'll do it through my play, and through my leadership, and nothing else," Patterson said July 20 at the MAC Media Day at Ford Field. "Nothing new. Keep it plain and simple. I'm still the same guy who doesn't really like all the shine and the glory, I'm still the guy who likes to do the dirty work and stay under the scenes. That's me. That's always going to be me, and I'm never going to change from that." In his own way, Patterson thrived as he worked in the shadows of his brother's limelight. As Jaret Patterson ran for 1,072 yards and 19 touchdowns in six games last year, James was an integral part of a defense that allowed a conference-low 360.4 yards per game. He had 63 tackles, two pass breakups, an interception and a forced fumble last season. - Buffalo News
