Personal life

Patrick was arrested three times for misdemeanor marijuana possession, resulting in two suspensions. The last one landed him in a treatment facility that caused him to miss UGA's 2018 Rose Bowl and the National Championship Game, despite a "penny-sized" amount of the drug being found in a teammate's car and being claimed by the vehicle's owner.[7] Charges were subsequently dropped.[8]
