The Arizona Cardinals recently released undrafted rookie receiver Rashad Medaris. They have replaced him on the roster with another young player, albeit one with some playing experience in the league.
The team announced on Wednesday the signing of receiver Andre Patton, formerly of the Los Angeles Chargers.
Patton is a former undrafted rookie out of Rutgers who spent two seasons on the Chargers’ practice squad. Last season, he made it to the 53-man roster and appeared in 13 games, starting five times. He played 506 offensive snaps and 67 special teams snaps.
He had six receptions for 56 yards on offense and three tackles on special teams.
He is 6-4 and 200 pounds. He ran the 40-yard dash in the 4.5-second range so he has some speed for his size.
He will compete for a spot on the roster with 10 other receivers.
