Ricky Seals-Jones

He used to be known just as Eric Dickerson‘s cousin.  However once the Cardinals got a hold of him in 2017, he was no longer a secret to anyone.

He had back to back breakout games last November against the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars.  He caught three passes for 54-yards and two touchdowns in his debut.

Against the Jaguars he caught four passes for 72-yards and a touchdown.  He only caught five more passes the rest of the way down the stretch however.

Now he gets to start with the Cardinals from the beginning of the season in a new system.  A system he should have a good grasp on now.

He is still young and will likely still experience some growing pains.  That is to be expected but he should be a decent contributor to this offense, especially while Gresham gets up to speed.

He will start number one on the depth chart and will only keep it if Gresham doesn’t produce once he returns to the playing field.  For now, it is Seals-Jones job to lose.
