Summary

Patrick Payton is a long-limbed, high-effort edge defender who uses his reach and consistent effort to disrupt offenses. A former ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year, he is particularly effective at using his height to bat down passes at the line of scrimmage. While he consistently pushes the pocket, he plays with a disciplined, blue-collar style that prioritizes technique over raw explosiveness.
