Bad Quote by Cordarrelle Patterson
“You go to a lot of places, and they say they're going to use you in this kind of way. As time goes on, you're in Week 8 like, 'Man, didn't they say before the season they were going to use me?' It leaves you with a bad feeling. You get a bad vibe inside like, 'I can't trust this. I want to be somewhere else.'”
