Why Cordarrelle Patterson is now listed as a backup safety on the Falcons' depth chart

Cordarrelle Patterson is literally doing it all for the Atlanta Falcons.

He’s running the ball out of the backfield. He’s catching passes. He’s running back kicks.

And now he’s … maybe going to play defense?

Thanks to Pro Football Talk, we know that Patterson played a snap on defense in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and that he wants to catch an interception this season (see below).

Well, the Falcons’ Week 13 depth chart is out and the third-string safety is listed as … Cordarrelle Patterson!

Seriously, is there anything he can’t do? But the Falcons would be nuts to use him given how much he’s the centerpiece of the offense.

Still … wow.
