C Hjalte Froholdt
Froholdt handled the snaps well and moved well. He had a highlight block at the second level as well.
He helped himself in giving confidence that he can handle the starting job moving forward.
QB David Blough
Blough is a long shot to make the roster currently but he certainly helped himself with the fourth-quarter rally, leading the Cardinals on the game-winning drive.
He went 8-for-14 for 86 yards and a touchdown. He had the team’s highest passer rating at 99.1.
RB Ty'Son Williams
Williams was the game’s leading rushing, gaining 51 yards on 10 attempts, including a 15-yarder.
He looked pretty good and appeared to get forced into a little extra action when Corey Clement went to the locker room.
CB Kei'Trel Clark
Clark made a few plays and looked good in coverage. His one pass breakup he got credit for was a great play, diving and extending his body to break up the pass down the field at the last second.
