The Arizona Cardinals went with a cornerback with the first of three third-round selections in the 2023 NFL draft. It wasn’t a pick most expected with who was left on the board.
They selected Syracuse cornerback Garrett Williams.
Williams was a three-year starter at Syracuse. However, he tore his ACL in October, so he is not ready to play.
He is on the shorter end at 5-foot-10 and weighs 192 pounds, but he does have long arms. He has 31-inch arms and a wingspan of 74 1/2 inches, which is closer to what a cornerback at six feet or taller might have.
They passed on a center and several intriguing receivers.
