2. TJ Capers, LB
The devastating Stanquan Clark injury news has been rough for most Cardinals fans to process. Clark has plenty of preseason hype and was expected to be one of the superstars and leaders on the defensive front, especially within the linebacking corps. This void will be filled by none other than backup linebacker TJ Capers. This opportunity for Capers comes at a time when the defense is the strength of the team.
Capers was a highly sought recruit coming out of high school. However, he has seen minimal time due to the depth of talent at the linebacker position in his first two years. This is his opportunity to prove his worth and show his talent on the highest stage for defensive coordinator Ron English. If the defense continues its hot start and dominates the Bowling Green offense, Capers should be one of the reasons why.
