Cardinals draft massive TE Tip Reiman with 82nd overall pick

The Cardinals’ third selection in the third round is Illinois tight end Tip Reiman.

The Arizona Cardinals have gone offense with their first three third-round picks. After trading back three spots from No. 79 to No. 82, they selected tight end Tip Reiman.

Reiman is a large, athletic and is known as a blocker as a tight end.

He is nearly 6-foot-5 and weighs in at 271 pounds. He ran the 40 in 4.64 seconds and posted a 33.5-inch vertical leap and 121-inch broad jump.

He only had 41 total catches in his college career, a high of 19 each of the last two seasons.

What he is, though, is a physical and technical blocker. He was team captain last year.

He will be 23 years old in September.

He fills a need the Cardinals have as they could use a traditional blocking tight end. He joins Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins in the tight end room.
