The Arizona Cardinals have made an effort to improve the athleticism of the team. Their draft picks have been athletic. They have gotten younger as a team.
Take their new draft picks. Marvin Harrison, Darius Robinson, Max Melton, Trey Benson and Elijah Jones are athletic freaks. So is Dadrion Taylor-Demerson.
Where do the Cardinals rank among the rest of the NFL in athleticism? For that, we turn to Kent Lee Platte and his creation of Relative Athletic Score that grades out a player’s athleticism on a scale of 0-to-10.
