FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- When Cordarrelle Patterson stood at the podium two weeks ago, he said he’d be open to almost anything within the Atlanta Falcons' offense.
He has been used as a returner, a receiver and, lately, a running back in his nine-year NFL career.
It's probable he'll do all three of those things in Atlanta. But unlike other stops, he showed in the Falcons' 32-6 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday he might be more of a running back than at any time before.
“We got one of the best running backs in the league in my opinion, in Mike Davis,” Patterson said a couple of weeks ago.
