The Arizona Cardinals have officially signed all 12 of their draft picks for the 2021 NFL Draft. The final player to sign was Trey Benson, a third-round pick who inked his contract on Thursday. With Benson’s signing, the Cardinals now have their entire draft class locked in and ready for the upcoming season.
Benson, a running back who transferred to Florida State in 2022, had an impressive collegiate career, rushing for 1,896 yards and 23 touchdowns over the last two seasons. He will join a talented group of running backs in Arizona, including James Conner, Michael Carter, DeeJay Dallas, and Emari Demarcado.
While Benson was the final third-round pick to sign, there are still three first-round picks across the league who have yet to ink their deals. Among them are Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, Vikings edge rusher Dallas Turner, and Bengals tackle Ardarius Mims. It’s only a matter of time before these players also come to terms with their respective teams.
The Cardinals are looking to build on their success from last season and make a strong push for the playoffs. With all of their draft picks now signed and ready to go, they have the depth and talent needed to compete in a tough NFC West division.
It’s always an exciting time when young players sign their first NFL contracts and begin their professional careers. The Cardinals are hoping that Trey Benson will be a valuable addition to their team and help them achieve their goals for the upcoming season.
As training camp approaches, all eyes will be on Benson and the rest of the Cardinals’ draft class as they look to make an impact and earn their spot on the roster. With hard work and determination, these young players have the potential to make a significant contribution to the team and help them reach their full potential in the upcoming season.
