Ricky Seals-Jones

Tight ends don’t get talked about a lot in Bruce Arians’ offense but this season may be the exception.  The Cardinals re-signed Jermaine Gresham but look for some good production from Seals-Jones this preseason.

In 2016, he only played in nine games for Texas A&M but over his four-year career showed some good productivity.  He was a receiver at A&M but will play tight end for the Cardinals.

He had 26 receptions for 333-yards and one touchdown last season.  However he had 94 receptions for 1,025-yards and eight touchdowns between the 2014 and 2015 seasons.  Again, great productivity over a 24-game span in college.

At 6’5, he stands just as tall as Gresham.  Gresham has 17 pounds on him, at 260 against Seals-Jones at 243.  With uncertainty surrounding the future of Troy Niklas, Seals-Jones could push his way up the depth chart.  He will definitely be one to watch in July and August.
