New Orleans Saints CB Johnny Patrick
Conference Call With New Orleans Media
Friday, April 29, 2011

(On his special teams experience)
“I have a lot of special teams experience. I have been playing special teams ever since I have been at Louisville, since my freshman year. I was on special teams even as a starter. I play a lot of special teams.”

(On his playing attitude)
“You’ve got to be arrogant. You have got to be confident. You have to be a shutdown corner at corner. Everything that happened in the past, if you don’t like a play, you go to the next. I feel good about that.”

(On being surprised about being drafted by the Saints)
“I wasn’t that surprised. I had a good relationship with one of the scouts that is with the Saints. I am just excited to be a Saint. A playoff team, a great organization. I am so glad they gave me a chance. I am just ready to get there and play some football.”

(On Gregg Williams)
“(I don’t know) too much about him. I know that the Saints are a great organization. The only thing I can think about right now is that I am excited to be a Saint.”

Johnny Patrick to New Orleans Saints: 2011 NFL Draft Scouting Report | Bleacher Report

I was just looking at the player ranking on Yahoo put out by Pro Football Weekly and they had Patrick as the 44 rated player in the draft, Jordan as the 13th, Ingram as the 19th and our linebacker at 70 or something close to that. Looks like we got a helluva lot of value out of this draft. Great Job!

I hope he can be a huge special teams ace.

You and me both. He's not that fast, but he must play a lot faster than he times (it does happen... ref Ray Lewis)

The word is he's a great gunner.
