Cardinals sign receiver Dylan Cantrell

The Arizona Cardinals have signed wide receiver Dylan Cantrell.

What It Means:

Cantrell played receiver under Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury at Texas Tech, where he totaled 158 receptions for 1,873 yards and 18 touchdowns over the course of his five-year career there. Cantrell entered the league as a sixth-round pick of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2018, but failed to catch on. He'll get a new chance with his former coach, who prominently featured four-receiver sets at the college level.

Cantrell profiled as an uber-athlete at the 2018 NFL Combine, testing in the 99th-percentile athlete at the event. Unfortunately, neither his collegiate nor NFL production ever lived up to that athleticism. He will probably have to make a name for himself on special teams before he can become a contributor as a receiver.
