The Vikings' Cordarrelle Patterson has disappointed as both a receiver and kick returner, reports the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Patterson has 28 catches for 332 yards and a touchdown in what was supposed to be his breakout season.
He ranks 10th among 18 qualifying kickoff returners with an average of 24.4 yards. Last year he led the NFL by averaging 32.4 yards per return and scoring two touchdowns. His longest return this season is 49 yards.
