He sure doesn't waste any time once he has the ball, it's like high gear and forward.
Now I like this signing. Not a great WR but he has no problem lining up in the backfield like a RB. Nice weapon/decoy to have. Might make a 3rd RB expendable.
Nothing not to like here! Especially with the rule change.
This is the kind of sneaky signing that can result in an extra W for the season.
will be a huge help in the RB and WR room helping them all to learn the intricacies of the new playbook , great signing and can add to the KR/PR/RB/WR positions
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now

During the 2024 season, kickers will continue to kick from the 35-yard line, but the other 10 players on the kickoff team will line up at the receiving team's 40-yard line. At least nine members of the return team will line up in a "setup zone" between the 35- and 30-yard lines. Up to two returners can line up in a "landing zone" between the goal line and the 20-yard line.
No one other than the kicker and returner(s) can move until the ball hits the ground or hits a player inside the landing zone. Touchbacks will be marked at the 30-yard line, and no fair catches will be allowed. In the event a team wants to attempt an onside kick, it will have to inform officials of its intent and would then be allowed to use the NFL's traditional formation. No surprise onside kicks will be allowed.
Patterson fits perfectly into the kick returner/designed plays/big,fast guy with power as a swiss army knife weapon. He is strong enough to run the ball through the tackles at the goal line if necessary. They guy can do a lot and is just perfect for the OC that has the imagination to create opportunities for him.
Smith must love this signing.
Hope a return to health restores his giddy up. He looked slower last season.
Yeah...umm... Fields and Patterson are not the same player
Ya, but what are his stats vs Kenny Pickett?
I'm sure he has more.
I think a lot of people are going to mark this down as an underrated acquisition thats really going to help us. But i think hes going to be a disappointment. Much like the fight game, old dogs usually dont have a 2nd renaissance like that once decline due to age sets in.
Steelers placed Cordarrelle Patterson on the active/non-football injury list.
Patterson injured his hamstring in non-football related work, according to coach Mike Tomlin.
It is unclear how much time Patterson might miss.
