Seemingly signed as an immediate reaction to the NFL changing its kickoff rules, Cordarrelle Patterson could impact the Pittsburgh Steelers more than fielding kicks out of the end zone. Joining 93.7 The Fan earlier this week, The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly believes the Steelers will find a way to get Patterson on the field offensively, even if he’s stuck as the No. 3 running back behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.
Patterson was Kaboly’s pick for summer and fall surprise.
“You’re not giving him 6 million bucks to be a kick returner who, they [take] it outta the end zone once the game,” Kaboly told The Fan’s Joe Starkey.
