Pick 226 holds a special place in the hearts of the Arizona Cardinals, thanks to Pat Tillman.
ARIZONA -- The Arizona Cardinals made 12 total selections through the 2024 NFL Draft, the most in the league and also the most a single franchise has made since 1992.Pick 226 is a special one in the desert, as that was the exact slot where the Cardinals drafted Pat Tillman out of Arizona State back in 1998.
Arizona acquired the pick via their trade with the New York Giants ahead of the 2023 season, where former first-round pick Isaiah Simmons was sent packing. The Cardinals final selection of the 2024 Draft will come at selection 226, the same spot at which they turned in this card to take Pat Tillman in 1998.After the draft, Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort told reporters he was intent on keeping Pick 226, which was used to select Miami CB Jaden Davis:
Davis says though he doesn't have extensive knowledge of the Cardinals or Tillman, he's honored to carry the legacy.
