Cardinals bring in small-school WR for official visit

Ezzard played two seasons for Sam Houston after transferring from Howard.

The Arizona Cardinals are holding an official top-30 meeting with a small-school wide receiver. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, they brought in Sam Houston wideout Jequez Ezzard Monday for an official visit Tuesday.

Ezzard was a first-team selection for the All-Western Athletic Conference at receiver and kick returner in 2021 after transferring from Howard.

He is 5-9 and 193 lbs. At his pro day, he ran the 40 in 4.59 seconds, posted a 37-inch vertical leap and 127-inch broad jump.

In two seasons at Sam Houston, he caught 78 passes for 1,465 yards and 15 touchdowns.

He figures to be either a late Day 3 pick or an undrafted rookie.

The Cardinals traditionally use some of their top-30 visits on prospects they want to target as undrafted free agents after the draft.
