According to Adam Schefter, Pittsburgh is inking a two-year contract with running back Cordarrelle Patterson.
Ian Rapaport reports that the agreement spans two years and carries a value of $6 million.
Patterson experienced reduced involvement following the Falcons’ selection of Bijan Robinson, yet he delivered a notable performance in 2022 with eight rushing touchdowns and previously achieved six in 2021.
The Steelers welcome the four-time Pro Bowler on the same day the NFL declared its adoption of the XFL kickoff, anticipating a significant rise in kickoff returns. Patterson is likely to be utilized in this aspect given his track record, boasting nine career kickoff return touchdowns.
When considering his function within Arthur Smith’s offensive scheme, Patterson possesses the versatility to excel in both the running back and receiver positions. We’ve directly witnessed his ability to make impactful plays under Smith’s guidance.
