The Atlanta Falcons are set to have a three-headed monster in the backfield with Cordarrelle Patterson returning, how will it work?

Cordarrelle Patterson's versatility as a running back and kick returner has been a valuable asset for the Falcons throughout his time with the team.
Head coach Arthur Smith acknowledges that Patterson brings a unique element to the backfield, providing different options and game plans for the team.
While the Falcons have a crowded backfield with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier, Patterson's size and experience make him an ideal candidate for short-yardage situations and as a receiving option out of the backfield.
