Arizona Cardinals’ Ole Miss defensive haul?

The Ole Miss player running the 40 at the Pro day is edge rusher Princely Umanmielen, with whom the Cardinals have done a lot of pre-draft work, including a Top 30 visit. Could it be back-to-back Oxford scholar athletes for the Cardinals in the 2025 NFL Draft?

In fact, why stop there?

This is not just for shiggs and gittles —- these Ole Miss defensive SEC stalwarts flat-out ball!

Ole Miss 2024 Defense (national ranks):

• #1 - Run Defense —- 80.5 ypg
• #2 - Scoring Defense —- 14.4 ppg
• #8 - Red Zone Defense —- 71.92%
• #10 - 3rd Down Defense —- 31.7%

Plus, CB Trey Amos, 85.6 (another of the Cardinals’ Top 30 visits), but the odds of him being on the board at #47 are unlikely. But hey, you never know, right?
