Who returns kicks after the Steelers cut Cordarrelle Patterson?
Although the Steelers releasing Cordarrelle Patterson is old news by now, replacing him as their kick returner is not. Although they have options, as Mike Tomlin said, they don’t have a clear-cut option with an extensive return man history. If there is a favorite right now, it would probably be RB Kenneth Gainwell, but his experience there is limited.
The Steelers signed Cordarrelle Patterson last year thinking he could jump-start their kick-return unit. They were spectacularly wrong, yet they still brought him to training camp before releasing him.
