Tom Brady may have mixed feelings about his own nickname, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like giving them to his teammates.
During a press conference Friday afternoon, Brady said he has given Cordarrelle Patterson a nickname befitting of the wide receiver’s versatility.
“I call him ‘The Experiment,'” the Patriots quarterback said.
“Just because he can do it all,” he explained. “We’re all just trying new things with him. I just love what he does.”
Indeed, since being traded to New England this past offseason, Patterson has been used by the Patriots in the rushing, receiving, and return games — and has scored touchdowns in all three phases.
