Cardinals Met With Syracuse DB

The Arizona Cardinals met with Syracuse Orange DB Isaiah Johnson.

ARIZONA -- The Arizona Cardinals continue to explore draft opportunities in the secondary after virtually meeting with Syracuse DB Isaiah Johnson, the player revealed in a recent interview with The Draft Network.

"I’ve spoken with a bunch of teams since the NFL Combine. I met with a few more teams at my Pro Day as well. We’re scheduling some visits as we speak. I met with the Cardinals on Zoom. I met with the Titans, Steelers and Lions at Pro Day. I spoke with the Bills and Cowboys as well," he said.

Johnson is considered versatile enough to play either cornerback or safety at the next level. Arizona is set at safety with Budda Baker/Jalen Thompson but could look to bring more corner help to the desert even after signing Sean Murphy-Bunting in free agency.
