The forgotten man returned Monday night. He was no longer invisible, no longer consumed with being Flash.
Just Cordarralle Patterson, suddenly a man of many hats.
Patterson reappeared on offense in a 24-10 victory over the New York Giants by using his unique talent to carve out a hybrid role.
Patterson figured prominently in the game plan and turned the game in his team's favor with a bang-bang sequence that highlighted his value.
In the first quarter alone, he played gunner on the punt cover team, lined up outside at wide receiver, inside as the slot receiver and motioned to the backfield as a running back.
He moved around all over the place. A lot.
This after playing all of 13 offensive snaps in the first three games combined and barely touching the field last season.
Welcome back to the mix, Cordarrelle.
