Gold Coast select Dylan Patterson with pick No.5 in the 2025 National Draft.
Draft Profile: A hamstring injury ruled Patterson out of testing at the Combine but testing isn't required to know how the speedster plays. As exciting as any player in this year's crop, 'The Rocket' Patterson fires off half-back and through the midfield and can't be caught. Patterson reads the game well, is physically ready to play at the next level and had a strong carnival that saw him named an All-Australian. Patterson, who had NRL clubs trying to woo him to their sport, is tied to Gold Coast's Academy and will attract a bid inside the first several selections.
