A lot of talk follows Calvary Quarterback, Shea Patterson, and all his achievements. Being a top recruit, this is not at all surprising. What is surprising, is the fact that he has not always played quarterback. One might think that in order to be the best he must have started extremely young, but Patterson actually spent his days on the grid iron as a fullback until the fifth grade. If playing QB was not an option, Shea stated that he would like to give free safety a try.
It appears as if family plays a huge part in his life, as he said his greatest role model is his older brother. Not only does he believe Calvary Baptist Academy’s coaches are the best in the state, his favorite part of Calvary football is the amount of time he gets to spend with his teammates. They are like a brotherhood or family.
Shea thinks all the attention he gets is good and bad, so he just tries to “focus on getting better everyday and..... [my] teammates.” He has the right mindset, since his ultimate goal for football is to play in the NFL. Handling all the attention seems rough, not to mention juggling normal teenage duties. When asked how he manages it, he simply says, “stay humble.” Even under all the pressure Patterson seems to have a good head on his shoulders and an excellent work ethic. No doubt this will carry him far.
