The Arizona Cardinals are loaded with talent but have five players who could be better than advertised

The Arizona Cardinals for the most part are carrying the same roster in 2016 as they did in 2015. They are carrying seven rookies however.

There are some players though from last year’s roster though that started showing improvement but still left work to do to take it to the next level.  Of the 53 players on the roster, 25 of them are at three years or less experience.

These five players we look at here are on the verge of doing something special.  They are already good players otherwise they wouldn’t be on the 53-man roster, a roster mind you that may be the most balanced from top to bottom in the NFL.

The Cardinals didn’t show much on either side of the ball in preseason but preseason is a different beast. A couple of these players did show something in the preseason that does leave fans wanting more of what they saw.
