After a tumultuous Friday for the organization, the Atlanta Falcons and their fans were looking for any piece of good news to the lift their spirits. That news came in the form of a key re-signing, as NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo confirmed that the team agreed to terms with do-it-all offensive weapon/running back/wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson on Saturday.
Patterson was one of the biggest breakout players on a moribund Falcons offense during the 2021 season. A former All-Pro kick returner, Patterson took on a significant offensive role in Atlanta, serving as the team’s lead running back as well as a versatile chess piece in the receiving corps.
