Early years
Pathon was a student of Carson Graham Secondary School in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from 1987–1992 and attended Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada for one year (1993–1994) where he had 44 receptions and 868 receiving yards and was named AUS and CIAU Football Rookie of the Year,
Playing career
Pathon was originally drafted 32nd overall in the second round of the 1998 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. He was also selected by the Montreal Alouettes in the second round (11th overall) of the 1997 Canadian College Draft. Pathon played 46 regular-season games for Indianapolis (1998–2001) and 45 games for the New Orleans Saints from 2002-2004. On December 21, 2003 during his time with the Saints, he scored the touchdown in the famous play known as The River City Relay, which would have tied the game for the Saints, but only for the extra point to be missed by John Carney. He also played for the Seattle Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons in 2005
Lawsuit against the NFL
In December 2011, Pathon announced that he and a group of 11 other professional players had filed a lawsuit against the NFL. Pathon and his attorneys allege that the League failed to properly treat head injuries in spite of prevailing medical evidence, leading the players to develop effects of brain injury ranging from chronic headaches to depression.[2]
