On December 22, 1972, Patton was killed in an automobile accident near Villa Rica, Georgia. He was driving alone in his car when he was struck by an oncoming vehicle while attempting to pass another car.[3] He was driving to Virginia to see his sister who was dying of cancer as reported by his sons.
Patton is second in Giants history for most interceptions. He is one of nine defensive backs to have been named a First-team All-Pro in five seasons (however Patton is the only one to have not been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame).[4] The Professional Football Researchers Association named Patton to the "PRFA Hall of Very Good" class of 2010.[5][6]
