The Arizona Cardinals had to wait a while on Day 3 to make their first selection. Without a fourth or a fifth-round selection, their first pick of the day wasn’t until No. 201 in the sixth round.
When that pick finally came around, they used it to select USC running back Keaontay Ingram.
Ingram is a big back at 6-0 and 221 lbs. He played three seasons at Texas before transferring to USC. Last season, he rushed for 911 yards on 5.8 yards per attempt and scored five touchdowns. He added 22 receptions for 156 yards.
At the combine, he ran the 40 in 4.53 seconds, had a 34.5-inch vertical leap and a 122-inch broad jump. He is a bigger guy who can move.
