Cardinals’ 2020 draft class dwindling

The Arizona Cardinals’ 2020 draft class is nearly all gone. Only two players they drafted that year remain on the roster and that could end up being only one after final cuts.

Only defensive linemen Leki Fotu and Rashard Lawrence, both drafted in the fourth round, are currently on the team.
