Patton is also being counted on to be a leader in an unproven receiver corps, and perhaps the No. 1 pass catcher this season as the Scarlet Knights seek to fill the void of star play-maker Leonte Carroo.

"Ever since Coach (Chris) Ash came in, most of the older guys had to take a leadership role. That includes me,'' Patton said.
