How do you grade a person who excelled at every other role he played other then the one he’s technically assigned? You give him a passing grade of course. Cordarrelle Patterson was a monster at every position on the field except wide receiver. He was extremely effective on special teams (separate grade) and did his most damage in the backfield.

When it came to catching passes, the All-Pro returner only totaled 83 yards through the air on 11 catches. Patterson is one of the better “swiss army knives” in the league so it’s unfair to give him a low grade as a receiver when he barely split out wide. Instead, he earns a passing grade and will earn an actual letter grade when it comes to special teams.
