Earlier this season, the Atlanta Falcons designated their do-it-all weapon Cordarelle Patterson as a “joker” on their depth chart. Pittsburgh Steelers CB Patrick Peterson, who logged 18 snaps at safety along with 15 snaps in the slot in Pittsburgh’s Week Nine win over the Tennessee Titans, thinks he belongs in the same designation. While he said he thinks he’s still a corner, Peterson said his versatility could make him a joker.
“I think I’m still a corner. I’m the joker in the deck of cards, the two jokers. I’m one of the jokers,” Peterson told reporters, including Chris Adamski of TribLive.
