Giants Sign Mike Patterson
This is old news.
Just adding DL depth here. Patterson, or "Patt" is a good run stuffer, shown here by Blogging The Beast. ESPN has him at 6'1" 300 Lbs, so obviously he has some size. If you click on the link, the images show his ability to take on double teams and stand his ground. He is a guy that does not get pushed around very often.
Issue here is his health. In 2011 he suffered a seizure during training camp. The next off season he had surgery to repair a arteriovenous malformation in his brain. Not sure what that means, but brain surgery in any form scares me. He only got to play 5 games last year.
A healthy Patterson will not be a starter, but maybe a goaline/short yardage lineman. Linval Joseph and Jenkins will probably get the majority of the reps with Patterson, Shaun Rogers, Marvin Austin and Markus Kuhn coming in under special circumstances.
