He was NFL-bound until he wasn't. Now Patrice Rene is back on track with B.C. Lions

Posted Jul 8, 2024
Ottawa’s Patrice Rene was a 6-foot-2, 206 pound defensive back who could run a 4.6 second 40-yard dash. Safety size with defensive back speed and quickness. He was until a collision with a UNC teammate his senior year left him with a torn ACL in 2019, costing him one season before COVID burned the next. The NFL didn’t come calling, but the CFL did.
