Patrick Christopher Chung (born August 19, 1987) is a Jamaican-American former professional football safety who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 12 seasons, primarily with the New England Patriots. He played college football for the Oregon Ducks and was selected in the second round of the 2009 NFL draft by the Patriots, where he spent 11 non-consecutive seasons. In between his Patriots tenure, Chung was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles for one season. A three-time Super Bowl winner with New England, Chung was named to the franchise's All-2010s Team and All-Dynasty Team in 2020.

Early life

[edit]

Chung was born in Kingston, Jamaica. His mother is Sophia George, who was a one-hit wonder in the UK with her 1985 hit "Girlie Girlie" that reached number one in Jamaica, topping the RJR chart for 11 weeks, and was also a Top-10 hit in the UK.[1][2] At the time of recording Sophia worked as a teacher of hearing impaired learners.[1] She married her manager Ronald Chung (Patrick's father), with whom she relocated to Miami in the mid-1990s and later settled in Los Angeles.[1] Patrick has four brothers and three sisters.[3] He is of Chinese descent on the paternal side of his lineage.

Chung lived in Jamaica until he was ten before moving to California, where he attended Rancho Cucamonga High School in Rancho Cucamonga, California; he played football as a safety and wide receiver and was a two-time All-League pick.[4]

College career

[edit]

Chung enrolled at the University of Oregon in 2004.[5] After redshirting in 2004, Chung took over at the "rover" position in 2005, ranking second on the team with 91 tackles (5 solo), as he caused a fumble and deflected five passes. He earned All-Pacific-10 Conference honorable mention honors, and a spot on the Sporting News Freshman All-American Team. In 2006, Chung once again earned All-Pac-10 honorable mention, finishing third on the team with 84 tackles, two sacks, and four interceptions.[6]

As a junior, Chung was named Second Team All-American and first-team All-Pac-10 Conference. He received the Gordon E. Wilson Award, given to the team's top special teams player. He averaged 22.3 yards on nine kickoff returns while leading the Ducks with a career-high 117 tackles (71 solos), adding 7.5 stops for loss. He broke up nine passes and was credited with a pair of interceptions.[7]

Chung garnered Third Team All-American accolades in addition to making the All-Pac 10 first-team for the second consecutive year in 2008. Along with offensive lineman Max Unger, the pair set the school record with 51 consecutive starting assignments. He had 92 tackles (58 solos) in 13 games, coming up with two sacks among his 6.5 stops for loss. He caused and recovered a fumble, batted down seven passes and returned his only interception 31 yards for a touchdown.[8]

Chung holds the distinction of starting more games than any other defensive player in Oregon history, having started 51 straight games during his collegiate career.[9]

Professional career

[edit]

On January 16, 2008, it was announced that Chung had decided to forgo his last year of eligibility and enter the 2008 NFL draft.[10] Three days later, Chung announced that he decided to instead return to Oregon for his senior year.[11] On January 24, 2009, Chung participated in the 2009 Senior Bowl as part of Cincinnati Bengals' head coach Marvin Lewis' North team that lost 18–35 to the South.[12] He went on to attend the NFL Scouting Combine and completed the majority of drills before sustaining a knee injury. He was unable to perform the short shuttle and three-cone drill due to the injury. On March 12, 2009, he attended Oregon's pro day and ran the short shuttle, three-cone drill, and positional drills. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, he was projected to be a second round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts.[13] Chung was ranked as the top strong safety prospect in the draft by DraftScout.com and was ranked the second best safety by NFL analyst Mike Mayock.[14]

New England Patriots (first stint)

[edit]

The New England Patriots selected Chung in the second round (34th overall) of the 2009 NFL draft. Chung was the second safety drafted in 2009, one pick behind Western Michigan safety Louis Delmas.[16] The second round pick used to select Chung was previously traded from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Patriots in exchange for Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel.

2009 season

[edit]

On July 27, 2009, the New England Patriots signed Chung to a four-year, $5 million contract that included a signing bonus of $2 million.[17][18]

Defensive coordinator Dean Pees held a competition to name to new starting safeties between Chung, Brandon Meriweather, James Sanders, and Brandon McGowan.[19][20] Head coach Bill Belichick named Chung the backup strong safety to begin the regular season, behind Brandon Meriweather.[21]

Chung made his NFL debut in the Patriots' season-opener against the Buffalo Bills and recorded one tackle in a 25–24 victory. He made his first NFL tackle with teammate Darius Butler on cornerback Leodis McKelvin during a 21-yard kick return in the fourth quarter.[22] During Week 6, Chung collected a season-high eight combined tackles, deflected a pass, and made his first NFL interception off a pass by quarterback Vince Young as the Patriots routed the Tennessee Titans 59–0.[23] The following week, he collected four solo tackles and made his first NFL sack on quarterback Josh Johnson in the Patriots' 35–7 in over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Wembley Stadium in Week 7.[24] In Week 10, Chung earned his first NFL start and recorded five combined tackles during a narrow 35–34 loss at the Indianapolis Colts.[25]

Chung finished his rookie year with 37 combined tackles (25 solo), two sacks, a pass deflection, and an interception in 16 games and one start.[26]

The Patriots finished atop the AFC East with a 10–6 record. On January 10, 2010, Chung appeared in his first NFL playoff game as the Patriots were defeated 33–14 by the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Wildcard Game.[27]

2010 season

[edit]

On January 15, 2010, it was reported that defensive coordinator Dean Pees would not be renewing his contract or returning to the Patriots. Head coach Bill Belichick took over defensive coordinator duties for the season.[28][29] Chung competed for the job as the starting strong safety against Brandon McGowan and James Sanders.[30] He was officially named the starting strong safety to start the regular season, along with free safety Brandon Meriweather.[31]

Chung started in the Patriots' season-opener against the Cincinnati Bengals and collected a career-high 16 combined tackles (12 solo) in a 38–24 victory.[32] On October 4, 2010, Chung made five combined tackles and returned an interception by Chad Henne for a 51-yard touchdown to mark the first score of his career. He also blocked a punt and a field goal as the Patriots routed the Miami Dolphins 41–14 on Monday Night Football in Week 4.[33] In Week 6, he collected 13 combined tackles (five solo) in a 23–20 victory against the Baltimore Ravens.[34] The following week, Chung made a tackle before exiting a 23–20 victory against the San Diego Chargers after injuring his knee.[35] He was sidelined for the next two games (Weeks 8–9) due to the knee injury.[36]

Chung finished his second NFL season with 96 combined tackles (72 solo), nine pass deflections, three interceptions, and a touchdown in 14 games and 13 starts.[26][37]

The Patriots finished atop their division with a 14–2 record, clinching a first-round bye and home-field advantage. On January 16, 2011, Chung made his first NFL start in a playoff game and recorded four solo tackles during a 28–21 loss to the New York Jets in the AFC Divisional round.[35] With 1:14 left in the second quarter, Chung made the decision to call an audible on a punt and opted to receive a direct snap from the long snapper on a trick play instead and attempt to gain four-yards for the first down. He botched the direct snap and recovered the fumble for no gain at New England's 37-yard line.[38] The mistake proved costly as the New York Jets capitalized on their field position and scored a touchdown in four plays and 41 seconds to enter half time leading the Patriots 14–3.[39][40] Chung accepted responsibility for the mistake and stated it was his decision to call for the direct snap. He explained that he called the audible after discovering the Patriots had an eight on six advantage with their blocking scheme.[41]

2011 season

[edit]

Chung entered training camp slated as the starting strong safety and was officially named the starter to begin the regular season, opposite free safety Brandon Meriweather. On September 18, 2011, Chung made five combined tackles during a 35–21 victory against the San Diego Chargers in Week 2. He exited the game in the third quarter and returned with a hard cast around his thumb in the fourth quarter.[42] Chung was inactive for the Patriots' Week 3 loss at the Buffalo Bills after undergoing surgery to repair his fractured thumb.[43] On October 30, 2011, he collected a season-high 13 combined tackles (ten solo) and broke up a pass in the Patriots' 25–17 loss at the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8.[44] Chung was sidelined for seven consecutive games (Weeks 10–16) after suffering a foot injury.[45][46]

The Patriots finished atop of the AFC East with a record of 13–3, clinching a first-round bye and home-field advantage. They went on to defeat the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round and the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game.[44] On February 5, 2012, Chung started in Super Bowl XLVI and recorded six combined tackles and a pass deflection in the Patriots' 21–17 loss to the New York Giants.[47]

2012 season

[edit]

Defensive coordinator Matt Patricia retained Chung as the starting strong safety, alongside free safety Steve Gregory. Chung started the first six games of the season before sustaining a shoulder injury and missing four games (Weeks 7–11). During his absence, he was replaced by Devin McCourty, who was moved from cornerback to safety.[48] Upon his return in Week 11, Chung was named the backup strong safety behind McCourty and was limited to 65 defensive snaps in the next four games (Weeks 11–14).[49] On December 23, 2012, Chung made four combined tackles, two pass deflections, and intercepted two passes by Chad Henne during a 23–16 win at the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16.[50] The following week, Chung collected a season-high six combined tackles and deflected a pass in the Patriots' 28–0 victory against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.[50] Chung finished the season with 44 combined tackles (29 solo), five pass deflections, and two interceptions in 12 games and eight starts.[26]

On March 12, 2013, the Philadelphia Eagles signed Chung to a three-year, $10 million contract with $4 million guaranteed. He was reunited with Eagles' head coach Chip Kelly, who served as Oregon's offensive coordinator during Chung's last two years.[51][52]

Defensive coordinator Billy Davis held an open competition to name two new starting safeties. The competition included Chung, Kenny Phillips, Colt Anderson, Nate Allen, Kurt Coleman, and David Sims.[53] Head coach Chip Kelly named him the starting free safety to begin the season, along with strong safety Nate Allen.[54]

Chung started in the Eagles' season-opener at the Washington Redskins and recorded seven combined tackles in a 33–27 victory.[55] He was sidelined for two games (Weeks 4–5) due to a shoulder injury.[56] In Week 6, Chung made two combined tackles before exiting the Eagles' 31–20 win at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third quarter after aggravating his shoulder injury. He missed another two games due to the injury (Weeks 7–8) and lost his starting role to rookie Earl Wolff.[55] Chung regained his starting role in Week 11 and started the last six games of the regular season after Wolff sustained a knee injury.[57] On December 29, 2013, Chung collected a season-high ten combined tackles (five solo) during a 24–22 win at the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17.[55] He finished his only season with the Eagles with 59 combined tackles (39 solo) and three pass deflections in 12 games and ten starts.[26]

On March 11, 2014, the Philadelphia Eagles released Chung after only one season, saving $2.25 million in cap space. His release was widely attributed to his injuries and issues in pass coverage. Problems with tackling and multiple incidents of accidentally delivering hits to teammates were also cited as possible reasons for his release.[58]
