Five Arizona Cardinals Targets from Day Three of NFL Combine
By Jeremy Meek
Tanoh Kpassagnon was one of the most talked about players from today’s workouts
The Cardinals may not want to use that number 13 overall pick on a defensive end, and that makes sense with needs at several other positions. If they want to wait, and are willing to take a little bit of a chance based on potential, Tanoh Kpassagnon could be an interesting option.
Coming from Villanova, Kpassagnon wasn’t a household name coming into the draft process. He did have big-time production, having recorded 11 sacks and 21 1/2 tackles for a loss last season. It was after the season ended that he started getting noticed, though.
Kpassagnon’s measurements got everybody paying attention. He’s nearly 6’7″, 289 pounds, and has a ridiculous 7-foot wingspan. He looks like he was chiseled out of stone, and today he ran a 4.83 40-time, a 30-inch vertical, and a 10’4″ broad jump. He’s a raw talent, so he may not be ready in 2017, and he’d have to show he can hold up as a defensive end in a 3-4 defense, but his potential is off the charts.
