Prater is the same size as Brooks, however Prater has been around a few years. Prater’s experience with several different teams could be the difference maker.

The Cardinals are the sixth different NFL team that Prater has been a member of. He was with the Minnesota Vikings two different times. He has limited regular season experience though. He has 11 career tackles and one career interception, which are both more than what Brooks and Byndom bring to the table.

Like both Brooks and Byndom, being a cornerback may be a tangible on his side. The Cardinals were disappointed with how they performed in the playoffs. Prater could be a guy that not only makes the team but also could fight for a starting spot.
