Cocoa’s Patrick signs with Browns

Staff reports

A little more than a year after first signing with the Dallas Cowboys, Cocoa High graduate Ronald Patrick is now a member of the Cleveland Browns.

Sunday, Patrick signed to be on their practice squad.

Patrick was a two-year starter on the offensive line at South Carolina and helped Cocoa High win a state title.

Patrick excelled at South Carolina, leading a solid offensive line that consistently opened holes for the running game. The 6-foot-2, 315-pound guard made 25 career starts and was very durable, making 19 career starts in a row before an ankle injury.
