As the Arizona Cardinals finish off the off-season in preparation for the start of training camp on July 25th in Glendale at University of Phoenix Stadium, we are going to take a look at the team roster from A to Z as it currently stands. Next up is tight end Andre Hardy.
2013 season: He was out of football. Most recently had been with the Oakland Raiders.
2014: The story of Andre Hardy is a special one to me. He is a basketball player trying to make it as a tight end in the NFL. The Raiders gave him a shot in 2012 but was ultimately released. He played two seasons of basketball at Oral Roberts and his last two at Cal-State Fullerton. He last played organized football in high school. You can’t help but root for a guy like this. Unfortunately is trying to compete at a position where the Cards seem to have enough viable bodies ahead of him on the depth chart. Never say never but I think this opportunity is nothing more than a tryout for maybe another team.
