Right now, he is practice squad, unless some other team wants to pick him up after getting cut. But it is still early. Really for him to make the team, he'll have to show something in special teams. He's competing with Russell Stuvaints (Youngstown St.) for that final backup safety spot. Stuvaints has the advantage by knowing the system.Unfortunately for Patton, He's probably practice squad bound or headed for a developmental league. Pittsburgh is deep with young talent in the secondary
The Steelers are really only deep at the cornerback position. Good talent, but not proven.
