Erick Dargan, DB

If the Cardinals are going to call someone from the AAF, it should include a member of the Arizona Hotshots.  Dargan though would be more than a token call however.

Dargan had one interception on the shortened season but also lead the Hotshots in tackles with a total of 44.  Dargan comes from the University of Oregon.

While at Oregon, Dargan was the leading tackler with 95 tackles in 2014, his senior season.  His teammates voted him the best defensive player on the team.

He had a cup of coffee with the Cincinnati Bengals but other than that hasn’t latched onto any NFL team.  The AAF, despite its many shortcomings, may have actually been a good thing for a player like Dargan.

The Cardinals can never have enough depth in the defensive backfield.  If he were to come to the Cardinals, certainly there is a good chance he would not make the final 53-man roster come September but he certainly could make things interesting.
