Did the Pittsburgh Steelers pay $6 million over two years for a kick returner in Cordarrelle Patterson? He won’t tell you directly, but his teammates seem to imply they see him as more than that. No doubt the Steelers primarily signed him to take advantage of the new kickoff rules. But he has always been an offensive contributor as well.
“Oh man, Cordarrelle. He’s a kick returner, he’s very great in that”, RB Jaylen Warren said of Patterson this past week via the team’s website. “As far as the offense, I’m sure we could put him anywhere and he does his thing”.
