2 - Gain insights on lesser-known players

Every time training camp rolls around, there is always a handful of unknowns who could creep up out of nowhere. I can name three of them at receiver as of this writing in Brandon Smith, Brian Cobbs, and Daniel Arias III

At tight end, players like Blake Whiteheart and Bernhard Seikovits are two names to gain further insight on. Especially Seikovits, who could finally crack the opening day roster this season after spending the last two years on the practice squad. 

There is an array of unknowns along the defensive front with players like Eric Banks, Ben Stille, and Kevin Strong, to name a few. With such a young team like the Arizona Cardinals, there is a chance some of these relative unknowns may creep up and snag a spot, and as with the rookies, their development will also be fun to watch.
