Cordarrelle Patterson was one of the most interesting signings the Pittsburgh Steelers made in the offseason. The 33-year-old has experience as a running back and wide receiver, but most importantly for the Steelers, he’s an exceptional kick returner. The NFL announced a major change to the kickoff format back in March, and the Steelers wanted to be ahead of the curve by immediately signing the veteran returner.
It was assumed for a while that his role in the offense would be limited, especially with the tandem of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren cemented in their roles ahead of him in the depth chart.
