El receptor Chris Hubert atrapa un pase durante el minicampamento para novatos el pasado fin de semana.
Por segundo año consecutivo, Cardenales han minado de entre sus jugadores a prueba durante el minicampamento para novatos un par de dignas contrataciones.
Después de tres días de trabajo durante el fin de semana pasado, Cardenales decidieron firmar a un par de novatos no reclutados en el draft – el corredor de Idaho Elijhaa Penny y el receptor Chris Hubert de la Estatal de
Fayetteville. Penny es un corredor corpulento de 6 pies - 2 pulgadas y 234 libras, Hubert es un receptor de ranura con estatura de 5 pies 9 pulgadas y 170 libras.
Penny tuvo 1,159 yardas por tierra y 10 touchdowns en 246 acarreos la temporada pasada para la Universidad de Idaho. Hubert consiguió 71 recepciones para 862 yardas y 13 touchdowns.
Para hacer espacio en el plantel, Cardenales recortaron al corredor Jared Baker y al apoyador externo Mike Reilly. Baker, acababa de firmar la semana pasada como agente libre novato no reclutado.
Es la segunda temporada consecutiva que Cardenales firman a varios jugadores que estuvieron a prueba durante el minicampamento para novatos. La temporada pasada, los tres disputaron por un espacio en la lista de 53 jugadores: el mariscal Phillip Sims y los profundos Harold Jones-Quartey y Brandon Person. Person permanece en el plantel después de lesionarse la temporada pasada; Jones-Quartey fue puesto en libertad, no obstante fue reclamado de entre los recortados por Osos, con quien jugó el año pasado.
Tanto Penny como Hubert se unen a grupos de posición dentro de los cuales será difícil encontrar un lugar. Cardenales tienen respaldo en la posición de receptor, incluso Jaxon Shipley de la escuadra de entrenamientos quien estuvo lesionado a lo largo todo el 2015 estará de regreso, mientras el cuadro de corredores tiene jugadores ya comprobados en David Johnson, Chris Johnson, Andre Ellington y Stepfan Taylor que además es parte del núcleo de jugador de equipos especiales.
