22 funny facts about Cordarrelle Patterson – and he wants to play RB

With Ty Montgomery helping revitalize Green Bay’s running game this season, Pro Bowl kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson wouldn’t mind giving running back a shot with the Vikings.

“I would love to play running back,” Patterson said during a really weird podcast appearance with Pardon My Take. “I think any receiver in my position would love to play running back. People always say, ‘he’s just a running back when he gets the ball in his hands.’”

That’s all he really said about playing running back. But it’s cool nonetheless. For the record, Patterson does have 31 career rushes for 333 yards and 4 touchdowns.
