Jaret Patterson:
Ron Rivera on Jaret Patterson: “He didn’t surprise us. That’s what we saw in the young man. He had a terrific college career and he’s had a good camp so far. I think we expected him to do some positive things, so it was good to watch.”

Kneel?:
Ron Rivera: “It kinda surprised me that they were going to kneel. I thought they would run it. But then they did run it, and unfortunately we didn’t get out and turn the ball back in, and when you don’t do your job, that’s what happens.”

Showing he belongs in the NFL:
