The Arizona Cardinals filled lots of needs along the offensive line during free agency. GM Monti Ossenfort was able to fill the open spots with seasoned veterans.
Offensive guards inked were Isaac Seumalo and Matt Pryor, along with OT Elijah Wilkinson and Olisaemeka Udoh.
RELATED: ARE THE CARDINALS BETTER AT EACH POSITION?
One thing about Iowa, it is an offensive lineman factory. Jones won two offensive lineman awards in his senior season. Excellent pass protector and only average run blocker. He will
sit in his base and allow defenders to come to him rather than lunging. Can pick up A-gap blitzers while his eyes never drop.
