Cordarrelle Patterson continues to garner honors for his special teams play for the Bears in 2019.
After being named first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press and Sporting News, as well as voted to the Pro Bowl, Patterson has earned another honor.
Patterson has been named first-team All-NFL as a kick returner by the Pro Football Writers of America.
Patterson averaged 29.5 yards per kickoff return, including a 102-yard kickoff return touchdown against the New Orleans Saints. He also led the NFL with 825 kick-return yards.
Patterson, who signed with the Bears last March, has a reputation for being one of the league’s best kick returners. Patterson ranks second in league history with a 29.9-yard career average, and he trails only Bears Hall of Famer Gale Sayers, who had 30.6.
He also ranks third on the NFL’s all-time list with career kickoff return touchdowns with seven, which is just one behind Josh Cribbs and Leon Washington.
