1. Arizona Cardinals

This Cardinals’ football team has been nothing short of a disappointment, since they were one game short of the Super Bowl in 2015. A large part of the problem has been injuries, but the poor play of aging quarterback Carson Palmer hasn’t helped either.

Arizona drafted another former Louisville tight-end a few years back in Gerald Christian, but ended up releasing him.

Could they take another chance on a Cardinals tight-end next year? I believe they should, without a doubt.

Jermaine Gresham has been Palmer’s main option at tight-end in 2016, but this dude isn’t getting any younger either. It’s pretty clear that Gresham isn’t the type of player that can excel in this passing league, however I do know one young tight-end who can.

That’s right, Cole Hikutini is the guy for the Arizona Cardinals’ future.
