Cordarelle Patterson isn’t a fan of labels. People like to classify him as a receiver or a running back or a kick returner, but Patterson isn’t confined to one specific role.
Patterson might be labeled a wide receiver on the Chicago Bears roster, but the free agent signing believes he can play any position on the field.
“I can put anything on the field I put my mind to,” Patterson told reporters after Wednesday’s OTA practice. “When I get out there, I feel unstoppable.”
Patterson, who was most recently with the Patriots, has played everything from receiver to running back to kick returner.
Patterson’s versatility makes him a big-play threat on the field. And with Matt Nagy calling the plays, there’s no telling what Patterson is yet to be capable of.
“Whatever Nagy needs me to do, I can do it,” Patterson said.
He can run, he can catch and apparently he can throw, too. During Wednesday’s OTA practice, Patterson was spotted throwing some passes to fellow receiver Taylor Gabriel.
Who knows, maybe Nagy’s got a special play made just for Patterson to showcase his throwing ability. Nothing is out of the question when Nagy’s back there calling plays.
