On Monday afternoon, the Falcons announced a larger-than-usual 20-player UDFA class. Not to be outdone, the Cardinals added 21 undrafted rookies to their offseason roster:
- Sirgeo Hoffman, RB (Portland State)
- Jonathan Ward, RB (Central Michigan)
- Jermiah Braswell, WR (Youngstown State)
- Shane Leatherbury, WR (Towson)
- Rashad Medaris, WR (Cincinnati)
- Devin Phelps, WR (Shepard)
- JoJo Ward, WR (Hawaii)
- Ryan Becker, TE (SMU)
- Parker Houston, TE (San Diego State)
- Jake Benzinger, OL (Wake Forest)
- Jackson Dennis, OL (Holy Cross)
- Drew Dickinson, OL (Findlay)
- Steven Gonzalez, OL (Penn State)
- T.J. Carter, DL (Kentucky)
- Adam Shuler, DL (Florida)
- Reggie Walker, LB (Kansas State)
- Zane Lewis, CB (Air Force)
- Jace Whittaker, CB (Arizona)
- Jarren Williams, CB (Albany)
- Bejour Wilson, CB (Liberty)
- Reggie Floyd, S (Virginia Tech)
The Cardinals had only 18 open spots heading into this week, so they’ll have to trim a few players from the roster. Arizona GM Steve Keim went heavy on corners in this UDFA class after passing on defensive backs throughout the draft.
Ward, out of Hawaii, is among the more notable names on the list. The wide receiver put himself on the pro radar in 2018 as he averaged a DeSean Jackson-esque 17 yards per reception. But, even with the benefit of Hawaii’s run-and-shoot offense, his production dipped in 2019. The Cardinals are still curious to see whether his solid in-game speed will translate to NFL success.
Parker Houston is a steal as a UDFA.
He could carve out a nice career in the Lee Smith fashion of excellent blocker at the TE position.
He’s a gritty, tough, hard nosed player.
Are you his agent?
