The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Cordarrelle Patterson to return kicks, the timing making that obvious. He signed a two-year, $6 million contract on the same day the NFL passed a new kickoff rule.

“That’s my only level of skepticism with bringing in Patterson for this job. Number one, he was pretty pedestrian last year, stats-wise”, Brian Batko points out on the North Shore Drive podcast.
