About Tim Patrick
The San Diego, California native attended University City High School prior to his college career. After high school, Patrick played at Grossmont Community College.
After he was honored as first-team all-PCAC, Patrick joined the Utah football program in 2014.
He played for the Utes from 2014-16.
During his time in Salt Lake City, Patrick recorded 61 receptions for 888 yards and five touchdowns in 22 games played. He missed 17 games in college due to injury.
In 2017, Patrick signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent. He also spent time with the San Francisco 49ers before joining the Broncos later that year.
Since joining Denver’s practice squad more than five years ago, Patrick has become a consistent receiver for the Broncos. His outstanding play helped Patrick land a multi-year contract extension with Denver in 2021.
