Former FSU football running back Jacques Patrick has been chasing his dream of playing in the NFL for a long time. Patrick went undrafted out of FSU after his senior season in 2018. Patrick got drafted by the Tampa Bay Vipers in the 2020 XFL Draft.
However, that league folded in April 2020, and he signed with the Cincinnati Bengals a week later. Patrick’s NFL career became several signings to practice squads and releases with multiple teams. He finally broke through and made his NFL debut with the San Francisco 49ers in 2021.
He appeared in two games, with two rushes for 12 yards.
