Many Happy Returns? Cordarrelle Patterson Excited About New Kickoff Rule

The Pittsburgh Steelers are known for a lot of things. Being an excellent kick return team is not one of them. This is mostly due to the Steelers never having a consistent return man since Rod Woodson, outside of the two years Ray-Ray McCloud spent with the Steelers. Just as well, the NFL has slowly but surely worked to make returning kickoffs safer, with an unfortunate side effect that it made the play more boring. However, with major changes being made to kickoffs this offseason, it seems the kick return game is about to enter a renaissance.
