David Patten (born August 19 1974 in Hopkins, South Carolina) is an American football player. He plays wide receiver, and is currently with the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League. He played college football at Western Carolina University, and has also played for the New York Giants (1997-1999), the Cleveland Browns (2000), the New England Patriots (2001-2004), and the Washington Redskins (2005-2006).
Patten is most remembered for his performance in a game with New England vs. the Indianapolis Colts on October 21, 2001, when he became only the sixth player in NFL history to rush, catch, and throw for a touchdown in a 38-17 win.
Most recently, San Diego Chargers
However, Patten's 2005 season (his first with the Redskins) was filled with disappointment. Despite not producing on the field (22 catches in 9 games), he was open in criticizing the Redskins for not getting him the ball. Then, on November 18, he was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury.
Patten's 2006 campaign with the Redskins was much of the same. Patten only played in the first four games of the season, and did not start a single one. In fact, Patten only made one 25-yard catch in the 2006 season - this during a Redskins Week 3, 31-15 shellacking of the Houston Texans.
On March 22, 2007 the Redskins released him. A few weeks later, he signed a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints.[1]
