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

Early life[]

Chung was born in Kingston, Jamaica. He has four brothers and three sisters.[1] He is 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.[2]

College career[]

Chung enrolled at the University of Oregon in 2004.[3] 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.[4]

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.[5]

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.[6]

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.[7]

Professional career[]

On January 16, 2008, it was announced that Chung had decided to forgo his last year of eligibility and enter the 2008 NFL Draft.[8] Three days later, Chung announced that he decided to instead return to Oregon for his senior year.[9] 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.[10] 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.[11] 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.[12]

New England Patriots[]

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.[14] 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: Rookie year[]

On July 27, 2009, the New England Patriots signed Chung to a four-year, $5 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $2 million.[15][16]

Defensive coordinator Dean Pees held a competition to name to new starting safeties between Chung, Brandon Meriweather, James Sanders, and Brandon McGowan.[17][18] Head coach Bill Belichick named Chung the backup strong safety to begin the regular season, behind Brandon Meriweather.[19]

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.[20] 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.[21] 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.[22] In Week 10, Chung earned his first NFL start and recorded five combined tackles during a narrow 35–34 loss at the Indianapolis Colts.[23]

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.[24]

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.[25]

2010 season[]

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.[26][27] Chung competed for the job as the starting strong safety against Brandon McGowan and James Sanders.[28] He was officially named the starting strong safety to start the regular season, along with free safety Brandon Meriweather.[29]

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.[30] 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.[31] In Week 6, he collected 13 combined tackles (five solo) in a 23–20 victory against the Baltimore Ravens.[32] The following week, Chung made a tackle before exiting a 23–20 victory against the San Diego Chargers after injuring his knee.[33] He was sidelined for the next two games (Weeks 8–9) due to the knee injury.[34]

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.[33] 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.[36] 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.[37][38] 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.[39]
