I think all 3 of those things you mentioned is what SHOULD get him some looks.
Take a look at these 5 QB's for "major" schools and their height, weight, and speed AT TIME OF RECRUITMENT from high school or JUCO.
Scott Tolzien
Wisconsin
6'2"
174
40 time Not Available
Joey Elliot
Purdue
6'2"
190
4.63
Zac Lee
Nebraska
6'2"
200
4.6
Kirk Cousins
Michigan State
6'3"
171
4.83
Todd Reesing
Kansas
5'11"
180
4.7
I believe that Patrick is comparable to size, speed, and 40 time to all 5 of these guys. I believe Pat is posted as 6'1", 205, and 4.6. If you are saying that he lacks that much in reading defenses, then I don't think he would have been as successful as what he was in high school. All 5 of the quarterbacks I listed were 2-3 star QB's. Pat HAS to be as good as these guys.
On the other hand, Pat definately has the size, speed, and ability to play Safety at the next level (D1 big school).
I think where the ball gets dropped is the coaching staff getting their athletes names out there. Tell me this.....how does Portsmouth, Chillicothe, and other schools in our league get athletes to D1 schools and we don't. It is because we lack recruiting coordination. It was a downfall with the 2000 team. We had D1 talent then, but the coaching staff expected the D1 schools to come calling on the athletes. The coaching staff should be working with the "legit" college prospect athletes during their junior year on getting their name out there.
You might have hit it Safety would be his position at the next level. Listen most all all logan skilled players this year were on the small side. Pat might be well off look at the JUCO route or mid major. I still disagree with you as far as reading defenses, I am not taking anything away from Pat, but when the Chiefs played strong teams Pat was just a good QB, again decsion making and reading defenses is the key!
