The Pittsburgh Steelers' gem of the 2024 free agency is, without a doubt, RB Cordarrelle Patterson. While many expected the former All-Pro kick returner to contribute immediately on special teams, his humor, work ethic on and off the field, and willingness to do whatever it takes for his team to win are why he is becoming an all-time favorite in the Steel City.

Patterson recently let Pittsburgh know that, whatever the team needs, he will be there. Fans caught a glimpse of his general manager-like recruiting skills during the lead-up to the trade deadline, but Patterson wants to do even more for the Black and Gold faithful.

Could Steelers fans see the now-healthy Patterson utilized more in the receiving game moving forward? After all, the former WR turned RB has always possessed elite receiving skills in his repertoire.

Patterson will make his long-awaited Steelers return in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders after missing four games with an ankle injury.
