Patrick Frank Surtain Sr. (Script error: No such module "IPAc-en". Script error: No such module "Respell".;Script error: No such module "Unsubst". born June 19, 1976[1]) is an American football coach and former professional player who was a cornerback for 11 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He was most recently the defensive backs coach for Florida State University from 2023 to 2025. He played college football for the Southern Miss Golden Eagles. He was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the second round of the 1998 NFL draft, and also played for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Early life

Surtain attended high school at Edna Karr High School in New Orleans, where he completed 44 of 97 passes for 753 yards with seven touchdowns and rushed 137 times for 784 yards with 12 touchdowns as a quarterback.[2] He also played baseball and ran track, and was also a member of the state title basketball and football teams in his senior year.[2]

College career

Surtain attended the University of Southern Mississippi, where he was a four-year letterman and two-year starter.[3] In his junior year, Surtain started all 11 games and accumulated 84 tackles, 8 passes defended and six interceptions.[2]

Professional career

Miami Dolphins

1998

The Miami Dolphins selected Surtain in the second round (44th overall) of the 1998 NFL draft.[4] He was the fourth cornerback drafted in 1998, after the likes of Charles Woodson (fourth overall) and Duane Starks (tenth overall).

On July 22, 1998, the Dolphins signed Surtain to a four–year, $2.40 million rookie contract that included a signing bonus of $800,000.[5][6]

Throughout training camp, he competed to be the No. 1 starting cornerback against Terrell Buckley and Sam Madison. Head coach Jimmy Johnson named him a backup and listed him as the third cornerback on the depth chart to begin the season, behind starting duo Sam Madison and Terrell Buckley.

On September 6, 1998, Surtain made his professional regular season debut in the Miami Dolphins' season-opener at the Indianapolis Colts as they won 24–15. In Week 2, Surtain had his first career interception on a pass attempt thrown by Rob Johnson to wide receiver Eric Moulds during a 13–7 victory against the Buffalo Bills. He appeared in all 16 games as a rookie in 1998, but did not receive a start and finished the season with two interceptions.[7]

1999

He returned under head coach Jimmy Johnson in 1999 and began the season as the third cornerback on the depth chart behind Sam Madison and Terrell Buckley. On October 17, 1999, Surtain earned his first career start in lieu of Terrell Buckley and set a season-high with seven solo tackles, made two pass deflections, and intercepted a pass by Drew Bledsoe to wide receiver Vincent Brisby during a 31–30 victory at the New England Patriots.[8] Following Week 12, head coach Jimmy Johnson named Surtain the No. 1 starting cornerback alongside Sam Madison and demoted Terrell Buckley to the third cornerback on the depth chart and nickelback.
