Arizona Cardinals profiles: Carrington Byndom

The Arizona Cardinals have concluded mini-camp with next stop training camp in Glendale

We continue our annual look at player by player from A to Z on the current Arizona Cardinals roster as we are now entering the final stages of the offseason before the start of training camp. The next stop is training camp on July 28th.

In this profile we look at cornerback Carrington Byndom.  Byndom is a two-year player out of the University of Texas.

2015: Byndom started the preseason with the Carolina Panthers.  He was cut at the end of training camp and was subsequently signed by the Panthers to their practice squad twice in a matter of nine days in September.  Byndom had played in three games for the Panthers in 2014.

Byndom was signed by the Cardinals to their practice squad in October.  He spent the rest of the season on the squad and then signed his futures contract two days after the Cardinals were ousted from the playoffs.

2016: Byndom will be in the mix at cornerback.  The Cardinals have still not said who will be expected to start at corner opposite Patrick Peterson, although the expectation is that it will be Justin Bethel.  Again, nothing is earned though.

Byndom has been in Arizona long enough now though to understand the system and defensive coordinator James Bettcher’s defense.  Byndom likely won’t be a starter but certainly has a shot at being considered for the final 53-man roster.

Cornerback is one of the areas the Cardinals have focused on in the offseason.  It is one of the few areas of questionable depth after Peterson and Bethel.
