Patrice Rene Utilizing Size at Cornerback

Posted Aug 16, 2018
Patrice Rene is not your average cornerback. At 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, he uses his size on the perimeter to win 1-on-1 battles against wide receivers. Rene is the biggest cornerback on North Carolina’s football team. Junior corner K.J. Sails (5-11, 175) plays opposite of Rene, although when they stand side-by-side, you might think they played different positions. (Inside Carolina)
