The Atlanta Falcons created a new position for Cordarrelle Patterson this offseason. The former first-round pick was been labeled as the “Joker” on the team’s depth chart.
According to head coach Arthur Smith, Patterson is too talented to be listed as second-string at any position, which led to creating the Joker position. Patterson is clearly embracing his new role.

Patterson made his debut in Week 4 but didn’t get to return a kick and didn’t play any snaps on offense. Perhaps the Joker has something up his sleeve for Atlanta’s Week 5 matchup against Houston.
