Cordarrelle Patterson named first-team All-Pro as kick returner

When the Chicago Bears signed Cordarrelle Patterson last offseason, they were adding a dynamic weapon with an ability to plays open on offense and special team. But it was his special team play that impressed in what was ultimately a disappointing 8-8 campaign for the Chicago.

Patterson has been named to the 2019 All-Pro first team as a kick return specialist.

Patterson averaged 29.5 yards per kickoff return, including a 102-yard kickoff return touchdown against the New Orleans Saints.

This is the fifth time Patterson has earned All-Pro honors for his role as a kick returner. He also made the All-Pro second team as a special teamer for his work as a gunner this season.

Patterson is also the only Bears player to be named to the All-Pro first team in 2019 after having four last season (Khalil Mack, Kyle Fuller, Eddie Jackson and Tarik Cohen.)
