Tomlin Lists ‘Pool Of Candidates’ For KR Job Following Patterson’s Release

Where was KR Cordarrelle Patterson? That question lingered through the first four practices of training camp for anyone watching the Pittsburgh Steelers. Well, he broke the news Monday that the Steelers released him. Yes, on his day off, as he made sure to note. So while he answered that question, his answer provoked a new question: Who will be the Steelers’ kick returner in 2025?

On Tuesday, head coach Mike Tomlin gave some insight into how the Steelers are trying to answer that question.

Mike Tomlin said he’s comfortable with the “pool of candidates” at KR following Cordarrelle Patterson’s release.
