College Career of Cordarrelle Patterson

Hutchinson’s football team

Patterson then transferred to Hutchinson Community College in Kansas, where he joined the junior college football squad. In 2010 and 2011, he was named to the NJCAA All-American team.

For the club, he has 1832 receiving yards, 113 receptions, 24 receiving touchdowns, 36 total touchdowns, and a 42.9 kickoff return average, all of which are team records.

In fact, in his freshman year, he was named return specialist of the year after returning 21 kickoff and punt returns.

In addition, as an offensive player, he was named to the All-American first team. In 2011, he won the Jayhawk Conference Offensive Player of the Year award.

Patterson was also interested in track and field, in addition to football.

At the Jayhawk Conference Championship, he ran the 100-meter dash in 10.33 seconds and the 200-meter dash in 21.19 seconds, both personal bests.

At the Southwestern Invitational Championships, he also competed in the long jump, setting a collegiate record of 6.85 meters.

In May 2011, he ran 40.32 seconds as part of a 4100-meter relay team at the Levelland Meet.

Tennessee State University

Patterson’s star shone brightly across the country during his record-breaking days at Hutchinson.

As a result, he received multiple offers from Division I programs at other institutions. He eventually elected to enroll at the University of Tennessee, where he became a member of the Volunteers football team in 2012.

Patterson spent the majority of his time with the squad as a wide receiver, but he also showed his versatility as a running back and return specialist.

In a 35-21 season-opening victory over North Carolina State, he recorded 93 receiving yards on six grabs and a receiving score.

Overall, he set the school record for all-purpose yards (1,858) and led the Southeastern Conference in that category.

In fact, in 12 games for the Volunteers, he had at least one receiving score, run, kick return, and punt return.

In the end, he dropped out of college early, declaring for the NFL draft in January 2013 alongside only a few other colleagues.

Professional Career

Vikings (Minnesota)

Patterson was quickly acquired by the Minnesota Vikings in a draft-day deal with the New England Patriots in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

Similarly, he made his regular-season debut in the season opener, catching a pass from Christian Ponder, Samantha Ponder’s husband, for a 10-yard gain.

He also scored his first NFL touchdown against the Chicago Bears, which were led by Eben Britton.

In fact, in September 2013, he was named NFC Teams Player of the Month. In his debut season, he hauled in 45 passes for 469 yards and five touchdowns.

In truth, his second season in the NFL did not provide him the delight he desired.

Patterson was unable to play at his peak under new head coach Mike Zimmer and rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

He was also no longer in the starting lineup despite catching only 33 catches for 384 yards and one touchdown.

However, after wide receiver Greg Jennings was released, he restored his starting spot.

As the team signed fresh wide receivers, he earned a fifth-place to start. After all, he only had two receptions and two kick returns in the 2015 season.

Not to add, next season, he’ll be more closely connected with the kick returner position rather than wide receiver.

In the season that would later be his final with the Vikings, he had 52 receptions for 453 yards and two receiving touchdowns. In addition, he had 25 kickoff returns.

Raiders of Oakland

Patterson, in reality, signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract with the Oakland Raiders in March 2017.

He also made his debut for them in the 2017 season opener as a kickoff returner, where he had one five-yard rush and one two-yard reception.

Patterson also scored a 47-yard touchdown against Phillip Rivers’ Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6, a 17-16 loss for the Raiders.

He had 31 receptions for 309 yards and 13 carries for 121 yards for the Raiders, including two touchdowns.

Patriots of New England

The Raiders traded him to the New England Patriots for a fifth-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft in March the following season.

After all, his first game with the Patriots ended in a 27-20 victory over the Houston Texans. In addition, he had started against the Green Bay Packers as a second running back in Week 9.

In addition, he finished the regular season with 21 receptions for 247 yards and three receiving touchdowns while rushing for 228 yards.

Patterson clinched two 14-yard receptions, a 38-yard kick return, and seven rushing yards as the Patriots defeated the LA Rams 13-3 to win Super Bowl LIII with Julian Edelman.

Bears of Chicago

Patterson, meanwhile, signed a two-year, $10 million deal with the Chicago Bears in March 2019.

He made his Bears debut against the Green Bay Packers in their season opener, in which they lost 10-3.

In November alone, he had 294 kickoff return yards and four tackles, earning him NFC Special Teams Player of the Month honors.

To point out, he had the most kick return yards of 825 in 2019 and the second-highest yards per return of 29.5 in the whole NFL.

The kickoff return average of 29.9 comes behind Gale Sayers in Bears’ history, a Chicago Hall of Famer.
