Arizona Cardinals: Seventh receiver possible

The Arizona Cardinals currently have 13 receivers on their training camp roster

As long as they are healthy, these six Arizona Cardinals receivers should break camp on the 53-man roster.  Larry Fitzgerald, John Brown, J.J. Nelson, Jaron Brown, Chad Williams, and Brittan Golden should see themselves on the roster barring any health-related issues.

That leaves Aaron Dobson, Jeremy Ross, Carlton Agudosi, Krishawn Hogan, Marquis Bundy, and Chris Hubert on the roster.  If math serves well, that means six receivers fighting for a possible seventh spot.

The Cardinals haven’t always carried a seventh receiver.  They also have four tight ends and a couple of running backs that can catch the ball as well.

However if you were to look at those six receivers, which ones would you say have the best chance to make the regular season roster?  Ross finished the season out with the team in 2016 after other injuries.

Dobson hurt himself in camp but also has regular season experience with the best.  He was with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. You can’t get much better experience.

Hogan seems to be a long shot given everyone else’s situation.  Bundy got into off the field trouble recently but is in the mix.

Agudosi also seems like a long shot but will get a look here early in the preseason.  Chris Hubert had a great preseason last year and ended up making the practice squad.

One of those six will have to have a lights out preseason in order to crack the roster.  With guys like David Johnson, Andre Ellington, and Jermaine Gresham in the mix for receptions, there just may not be the great need for a seventh receiver.

That seventh guy is going to have to be a star on special teams likely if he is to be kept around.  A lot will depend on the other positions but a seventh receiver is still a distinct possibility.
