How big a role will Cordarrelle Patterson have on offense?
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ interest in Cordarrelle Patterson as a kick returner is as obvious as it is undeniable. Reportedly, they waited until the new kickoff rules officially passed before consummating a deal they’d been working on already.
But just because they’re bringing him in to return kicks doesn’t mean that’s the only thing he’ll be doing. After all, Steven Sims and Ray-Ray McCloud before him served limited roles on offense, sometimes more, due to injury.
Patterson is a far more established offensive player than either of them, of course.
