There’s a chance that all of the Cardinals’ 7 draftees can make an immediate impact for the team

Imagine being an Arizona Cardinals’ rookie and as you walk into the team facility with your fellow rookies, you are given a bear hug by Paris Johnson Jr. Such a warm reception is a superb way to symbolize the magnificence of unique opportunities that the Cardinals’ rookies now have right in front of them.

Upon further review, CB Denzel Burke received the second hug, making PJJ’s first three huge to fellow Ohio St. Buckeyes.

Smooth Operator

Cueing up a little Sade ditty this morning to describe Will Johnson’s handling on his first presser at the Cardinals’ facility.

Will-JO MOJO for Cardinals’ defensive scheme:

Uncanny twist of fate for Will-JO to be playing with Walter Nolen III.

Moving onward and upward.

The “0” hug.

Surrounded by Buckeyes.

Saul Goodman.

Simon Says:

Put me in, coach. I’m ready to play, today.

Nothing promised but high expectations.

Highest bar.

Immediate Impacts?

There’s a chance that all of the Cardinals’ 7 draftees can make an immediate impact for the team.

  • DT Walter Nolen —- possible day 1 starter at DT.
  • CB Will Johnson —- possible day 1 starter as zone CB,
  • DE Jordan Burch —- possible day 1 starter at SOLB.
  • LB Cody Simon —- possible day 1 starter at MLB.
  • G Hayden Conner —- possible day 1 starter at G.
