Christian Kirk

He and Williams could become interchangeable at the number two and number three spots. They both could contribute as much as the other there will be no way to tell who is who.

For this hometown kid getting to play for the team he grew up watching as a kid in front of friends and family every week, should be a boost to the confidence of this young man. Not only can he catch though, he can return punts.

He almost broke a punt return for a touchdown the first time he touched the ball in the preseason. His own fee tripped him up though.

That is the kind of excitement fans hopes he brings week in and week out. Sure, he still has some things to learn as both receiver and returner but he has the raw talent to succeed at both.

Expect a lot of balls to go Kirk’s way this season. Cardinals fans seem to be doing just that as he is getting some good action from what I’ve seen in fantasy drafts.
