The Jaguars signed Patrick after the 2025 NFL draft as an undrafted free agent. He spent his rookie season on the practice squad and remained with Jacksonville throughout this offseason.

The Jaguars heavily addressed the tight end position this offseason, selecting Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol in the draft. Those two, along with Brenton Strange and Quintin Morris, make up the tight end room on the 53-man roster.

The Jaguars currently do not have a tight end on the practice squad, but have two openings to fill.
