The Arizona Cardinals have begun their predraft work and evaluations. That includes meeting with draft prospects. While they have certainly met with a number of players now that the Senior Bowl has happened, we will begin to get specific reports of players who have had meetings with teams.
According to The Draft Network’s Justin Melo, the Cardinals were one of several teams to meet with Virginia safety Joey Blount at the Hula Bowl.
Blount made the game-sealing interception in the game.
Blount is 6-2 and 205 lbs.
He played five seasons for the Cavaliers, taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility the NCAA gave players due to the pandemic in 2020.
In five seasons, he amassed 303 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks and nine interceptions. He had 86 tackles and three picks in 2021 for Virginia.
