The Arizona Cardinals, like all NFL teams, are doing prep work for the NFL draft next month. They have their eye on an intriguing cornerback prospect.
According to Tony Pauline of Pro Football Network, the Cardinals were one of three teams with defensive backs coaches (for the Cardinals, that would likely have been both Marcus Robertson and Greg Williams) present at Missouri’s pro day to watch cornerback Akayleb Evans.
Evans has the ideal build for an NFL boundary cornerback. He is 6-2 and 197 lbs, and has speed and athleticism. He ran the 40 at the combine in 4.46 seconds, and he posted a 36-in vertical leap and a 10-9 broad jump.
