Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images Did the Giants do enough to boost this group? The New York Giants have struggled to stop the run for years despite quality defensive linemen.

Continue with Dexter Lawrence

2025
"He could benefit tremendously from defensive line coach Andre Patterson, but his arm length could also always be a roadblock."

2024
"One coach you can expect Zimmer to at least pursue, is current Giants defensive line coach and former co-defensive coordinator under Zimmer in Minnesota, Andre Patterson."

2023
"Defensive line coach Andre Patterson said during training camp that the team’s veteran defensive linemen quickly realized that Jordon Riley was more than a non-descript seventh-round pick, and took an interest in helping him."

2022
"According to multiple reports, Andre Patterson is joining New York as the team’s defensive line coach."

2021
"The Vikings announced the promotion of Andre Patterson assistant head coach."

2020
"Adam Zimmer, coach Mike Zimmer's son, and Andre Patterson were named co-defensive coordinators Monday for the Minnesota Vikings, and Gary Kubiak was officially named offensive coordinator."

2017
"* I caught up this week with Vikings veteran defensive line coach Andre Patterson, who had the responsibility to keep things running in Minnesota's OTA sessions while notoriously hard-charging head coach Mike Zimmer was home at his Kentucky ranch, trying to rest and recover from right eye surgery, his eighth since he suffered a detached retina last fall."

2016
"While Holmes didn't qualify for SackSEER because he wasn't invited for the combine, he led Division I football with 18 sacks at Montana in 2015 and posted a pro day workout with numbers that led Minnesota Vikings defensive line coach Andre Patterson to compare him to Pro Bowler Everson Griffen, another insanely athletic former Day 3 selection."

2015
"The only exception was Isame Faciane, who was signed as an undrafted free agent after the Vikings hired his former line coach from Florida International, assistant defensive line coach Andre Patterson."
