“I’m here for a reason and I’m excited for another opportunity,” Broncos quarterback Ben DiNucci said. “That’s all I can ask for.”
As the Broncos’ personnel department put its finishing touches on an NFL draft strategy late last month, Jacques Patrick capped a strong XFL campaign April 22 with two touchdown runs against the DC Defenders.
“It was cool, man. I’ve been telling guys about it here, it was a rebound opportunity, that’s really what it is,” Patrick told The Post. “I was just in there talking to someone in the steam room and I was just telling him, ‘Bro, I remember my first couple of years in the playing and then getting cut in the preseason and then the phone wasn’t ringing.
Patrick spent 2020 on Cincinnati’s practice squad, got two carries with the San Francisco 49ers in 2021, spent some time on Carolina’s practice squad and then was on the 90-man rosters for Baltimore and Cincinnati last offseason before ending up without a job in the fall.Patrick rushed for 443 yards, added 238 yards receiving and showed enough at physically imposing 6-foot-2 and 239 pounds that pro teams started calling.
During the XFL season, he didn’t want to hear about potential NFL interest, leaving that to his agent and Seattle Sea Dragons head coach Jim Haslett. As the playoffs arrived, though, DiNucci knew decision time could come quickly and said “there were a few teams calling.”“Coach Payton’s track record really speaks for itself,” he said. “His offense, his quarterbacks have always produced.
