Mike Zimmer thinks the Vikings ‘could have done a better job’ with Cordarrelle Patterson

The Minnesota Vikings are making the trek to Gillette Stadium this Sunday and for Cordarrelle Patterson, there will be a few familiar faces.

The Patriots wide receiver was initially drafted by the Vikings in the first round of the 2013 draft and played with them until 2017, when he signed a two-year contract with the Oakland Raiders before eventually being traded to the Patriots.

Over his four seasons with the Vikings— three of which were spent playing under current head coach Mike Zimmer, who was hired in 2014— Patterson played 64 games and had 1,316 receiving yards, 333 rushing yards, and scored 11 touchdowns.
