Patterson spent the last two seasons with the Chicago Bears and appeared in every game for the franchise, serving a variety of roles. The 30-year-old had 21 catches for 132 yards and 64 carries for 232 yards and one touchdown. He also had 35 returns for 1,017 yards and a score.

It's unclear how the Falcons plan to deploy the versatile veteran. He could be used in a variety of roles like he was in Chicago.
