Player: WR Cordarrelle Patterson
Stock Value: Down
Reasoning: While he doesn’t have to worry about his job, Cordarrelle Patterson ought to worry about his hamstrings. The Pittsburgh Steelers running back/kick returner is beginning training camp on the Non-Football Injury List due to a hamstring injury. He reportedly suffered the injury during training in the offseason—after saying he wasn’t in shape in OTAs.
Remember that time shortly before the break, roughly a month ago, when Cordarrelle Patterson rated his conditioning? He gave himself a two on a scale up to 10, and if my math is on, that isn’t very good.
