The Arizona Cardinals are sure to select a wide receiver in the 2024 NFL draft at the end of April. It might be with their first pick and it might come later.
They have been doing work leading up to the draft and either have or will have met with several receivers.
One such player they have met is Georgia’s Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, a 6-1, 195-pounder who caught 34 passes for 535 yards and four touchdowns for the Bulldogs in 2023.
The Cardinals were one of a number of teams to meet with him virtually, the player told Justin Melo for the Draft Network. That was in addition to a meeting with the Cardinals at the Senior Bowl, where he met with every team.
He had a 35-inch vertical leap and 119-inch broad jump at the NFL combine. He is not fast, running the 40 in 4.84 seconds at his pro day.
He has big, strong hands and is an able and willing blocker.
He believes he is versatile and can use his size to his advantage.
“I feel like I can play inside and outside,” he told Melo. “I can play slot receiver, or I can play as a boundary receiver. It doesn’t matter where you line me up at. I’m going to make plays and get the job done regardless.”
What does he do best?
“I’ve never been a super-fast guy with 4.2 speed. That’s just not my game,” he told Melo. “I’ve always relied on technique more than anything. Using my size to box out my opponents at the catch point has always been a big part of my game.
“I use my long arms to highpoint the football. Most defensive backs can’t match my size or my length. I can beat a defensive back at the catch point. Having strong hands helps. I love utilizing size to my advantage.”
His athletic testing numbers likely mean he will go undrafted but he could be a guy the Cardinals look to sign after the draft.
