While the Cards offense is a work in progress as the 2018 season gets closer, one player who is getting no love is that of new wide receiver Christian Kirk.
Website NumberFire.com says that Kirk, a 2018 draft pick of the Cardinals, is ranked 27th when it comes to ranking teams’ second wide outs in the NFL.
Here’s what they had to say about Kirk.
Christian Kirk was taken in the middle of the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals, who are hurting for receiver depth. Behind ironman Larry Fitzgerald, there is not a lot of stiff competition for targets. Brice Butler, J.J. Nelson, and Chad Williams round out the depth chart, but Kirk figures to get the first crack at playing Robin to Fitz’s Batman. Unfortunately for Kirk, his home position of slot receiver is firmly occupied by Fitzgerald, with second-year tight end and former college teammate Ricky Seals-Jones also operating on the inside. Kirk will have to prove versatility to thrive in 2018.
