Kaptain Krazy Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 While all the debate on TATF was over whether Ryan's stats would be enough to get him in, it may end up being Cordarelle Patterson who gets a gold jacket. Holding an NFL career record that likely won't be broken anytime soon/ever is a big deal. He's already a 4-time All-Pro, with a good chance of getting a 5th nod. I realize guys don't usually get in just for special teams, but he's also going to end up with a fair amount of all-purpose yards (he's currently 90th all-time, but less than 2000 yards from top-50 with only two active players between him and that spot, which would have him passing multiple HoFers along the way). He's been a lot of fun to watch. TheRisen999, Tim Mazetti, james b and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwood all the way! Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Hope he gets in. He may not have enough use in offenses to be taken seriously. If only he were a bit younger. But he doesn't seem to be slowing down so who knows JohnnyUtahFalconfan36 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons_Frenzy Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Doing it as a Falcon will probably hurt his chances. Sadly. Would be nice to see though. JohnnyUtahFalconfan36 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Cordarrelle Patterson making a Hall of Fame case. There aren't too many true returners in the Pro Football Hall of Fame who didn't do something else at a fairly high level, but Patterson has a pretty strong case. On Sunday, he reached an all-time NFL mark when he returned his ninth career kickoff for a touchdown, a 103-yarder with several good blocks. More than Devin Hester, Josh Cribbs, Mel Gray -- all of them. In fact, it was his seventh career TD of 100-plus yards, per NFL Research. No other NFL player has more than three ever. That's pretty incredible. Plus, Patterson gave the Falcons 52 yards rushing (including a run late where he broke a tackle to prevent a big loss) and had two catches. Some might argue he is their most valuable player. Not bad for a player who is on his fifth NFL team and was considered a semi-bust at one point in his career ATL Fan in the DMV, Mid-Nite-Toker, Hashbrown3 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lornoth Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I'd put him in. With the way kickoffs are going rule-wise in the NFL he may never lose that record. None-ST stats will hurt him though. Imagine if he had been in this offense his whole career: he'd have insane stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 CP is on the 2010s All-Decade team and I think everyone who's been All-Decade has eventually made the HOF. Kaptain Krazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think returners have ever been put into the HOF solely on their returning accomplishments. Like Deion Sanders is in because he was a dominant CB. Not because he was one of the best returners in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a lot of fun to watch. CP may get in like Michael Vick did... by having a specific accomplishment recognized and getting a display to commemorate it. Vick did it with a 6 TD (4 passing, 2 rushing), 333 passing yards, and 80 rushing yards effort with the Eagles in 2010. I can see CP getting a display for breaking the record as well but I doubt a straight up induction. Special Teamers don't usually make it and unfortunately for CP, outside of his 2 years here, he hasn't been a superstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
