Matt Nagy has big plans for Bears wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson

The Bears usually refer to him by his first name or his initials, but wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson has a more creative nickname he’d like his new teammates to consider.

“I’m one of those guys where you’ll be like, ‘Damn!’” he said. “You’ll see me and you’ll just say, ‘Damn!’ I’m telling you, just call me, ‘Damn!’ because when I get the ball it’s like, ‘Damn, he’s about to do this.’ It’s crazy.”

The Bears’ receivers were already brimming with swagger, and Patterson’s arrival pushed them over the top. He’s an electric athlete, has a Super Bowl ring and doesn’t grasp the concept of doubt.
