Ex-Wolverines Quarterback Shea Patterson cut, joins New Orleans Breakers
Shea Patterson —the former two-year starting quarterback for the Michigan Wolverines— was released by the Michigan Panthers of the USFL this week. However, the former No. 1 overall pick was not unemployed for long and was quickly claimed off waivers by the New Orleans Breakers.
On the surface, the move comes as somewhat of a surprise. Patterson who just two weeks ago completed 27-of-34 passes for 304 yards in a close loss. And after overcoming an anemic 3-for-7 start last week, Patterson went 21-of-28 for 186 yards and one touchdown following a lightning delay.
