It is still the offseason with 90-man rosters, but it is clear the Arizona Cardinals really like the talent up at the University of Washington. It is the most-represented school on the Cardinals roster.
At the moment, five Cardinals players come from Washington. They are:
- S Budda Baker
- TE Darrell Daniels
- CB Byron Murphy
- OL Coleman Shelton
- LB Zeke Turner
Three are certain to make the roster. A fourth, Daniels, is in the mix. Shelton is a longshot.
No other school has more than three players on the Cardinals roster.
Which are the other most-represented schools on the Cardinals roster?
Arizona State
There are three Sun Devils on the Cardinals roster.
- RB D.J. Foster
- K Zane Gonzalez
- OLB Terrell Suggs
Two (Gonzalez and Suggs) appear locks for the team, while Foster will be in the mix.
Boise State
Three former Broncos are on the roster.
- OL Rees Odhiambo
- WR A.J. Richardson
- LB Tanner Vallejo
Vallejo is likely to make the roster. Odhiambo could surprise. Richardson is unlikely.
Florida
There are three former Gators, all on the offensive line. All three are likely to make the roster.
- OL D.J. Humphries
- OL Max Garcia
- OL Marcus Gilbert
Pitt
Three former Panthers are on the roster. Two will make the team. Both are longtime vets and quite good.
- WR Larry Fitzgerald
- P Andy Lee
- P Ryan Winslow
South Carolina
Of the three, only one is a lock. Any of the other two are possible but all three are unlikely to make the team
- WR Damiere Byrd
- WR Pharoh Cooper
- S D.J. Swearinger
Syracuse
This is a surprise and two are starters. The third player is an undrafted rookie fighting for a roster spot but is likely a longshot
- OLB Chandler Jones
- OL Justin Pugh
- RB Dontae Strickland
Texas A&M
All three players could make the roster. Only one is certain.
- WR Christian Kirk
- TE Ricky Seals-Jones
- CB Brandon Williams
