The Vikings receiver's running score set a team record for the longest rushing touchdown by a Vikings receiver. Patterson has 45 receptions, 469 yards, and five touchdowns in his debut season. Patterson was named to the Pro Bowl on January 2, 2014, to replace Antonio Brown. He became the first rookie from any team to be selected as a replacement player. Patterson's longest reception came against the Green Bay Packers on November 11, 2013. He took the ball 80 yards for a touchdown during a 30-27 victory over the Packers. It was also the second longest play from scrimmage this season and the longest by a Viking receiver this year. Cordarrelle Patterson finished with 1,047 all-purpose yards and seven touchdowns last season for Minnesota. He played only eight games because of injury but still managed to catch 91 passes for 1,146 yards and six scores. Patterson is expected to have a big role in Minnesota's offense this year as Christian Ponder recovers from knee surgery. The fifth-year pro out of Tennessee will have a new quarterback under center this season as Matt Cassel replaces Ponder. Patterson entered the NFL as a highly touted wide receiver out of Kentucky. He ended up winning the Heisman Trophy at Kentucky before being chosen third overall by the Vikings. Patterson has already matched his career high with five touchdowns this season. He has also caught at least one pass in every game this year.
