Letting it rip: A rollicking chat with Bears special-teams ace Cordarrelle Patterson

There’s something beautifully simple about the way Cordarrelle Patterson approaches special teams, and watching him demolish punt returners and rip through coverage units might be the most fun thing about the Bears this season.

Actually, talking to him is the most fun.

Patterson’s media availability is rare, but always a hit. In training camp, he said his nickname should be, “Damn!” because that’s what you’ll say whenever you see him make a play. He’s lived up to that.

He’s done more damage on special teams than in the offense, but makes no distinction between the two.
