He is big and explosive! - The Cardinals do like Washington defensive backs. They drafted Budda Baker and Byron Murphy and had Zeke Turner on their roster. - They have not used a first-round pick on a cornerback since taking Patrick Peterson fifth overall in 2011. - Since then, Byron Murphy, selected in the second round in 2019, is the only cornerback they have taken before Round 3. - Gordon is 6-0 and 200 lbs. He had 45 tackles, two sacks and two interceptions for the Huskies in 2021. - Cornerback is a premium position. If the Cardinals can get a top prospect at the position in the first round, it would make sense. they are lacking in cornerback depth entering the offseason. - - List - - 8 former Cardinals players selected on Day 1 of USFL draft - - - - - - - Listen to the latest from Cards Wire’s Jess Root on his podcast, Rise Up, See Red.
