By Scott Allen
#61 Ken Harvey
Harvey had the honor of being the Cardinals first draft pick in Arizona as a member of the Phoenix Cardinals. He was drafted 12th overall in the 1988 NFL Draft.
He played his first six NFL seasons with the Cardinals from ’88-1993 before he left for the Washington Redskins. He did not make any Pro Bowl’s as a Cardinals linebacker but made four consecutive after going to Washington with roughly the same production.
His best season in the desert came in 1990 when he had 10 sacks. He finished his time in Arizona with 47.5 sacks. He also had two forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries.
He had a career-high 120 tackles in 1989 and recorded a safety in his rookie season in ’88. Despite only starting six games in his last season with the Cardinals, he still produced 9.5 sacks and despite starting zero games in his rookie campaign, he still recorded six sacks.
