TEMPE -- The Arizona Cardinals are just hours away from adding to their 2023 draft class, though they're already off to a good start. 

After acquiring a future first-round pick among other draft capital, Arizona was able to get the player they wanted all along in Ohio State OL Paris Johnson Jr., a player capable of playing in multiple positions along the line. 

Johnson is probably already tired of talking: He did interviews with ESPN and media in attendance at the draft in Kansas City right after his selection, did a conference call with local reporters here at the team facility and flew in for his introductory press conference just a bit ago, where he spoke at the podium before doing individual stand-up spots for news stations before eventually finishing with us - just the local beat reporters. 

In a small crowd, the Cardinals' newest addition to the offensive line touched on a variety of topics through the near five and a half minutes of answering questions. Everything from his time in college to playing for Kyler Murray and even some personal questions on his family and foundation:
