The Arizona Cardinals have added a second wide receiver in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Arizona Cardinals have drafted another wide receiver, this time a group of five size/speed freak from UAB, Tejhaun Palmer.
From Dane Brugler’s “The Beast”:
Palmer received a full-ride offer from UAB, and his production steadily increased over the last three seasons, including career bests as a senior in 2023 (led the AAC in with 18 .3 yards per reception). Palmer was always a “freak” according to his coaches — and being part of an FBS program helped develop that talent (earned a spot on Bruce Feldman’s “Freaks List”). He has explosive stride acceleration entering his routes and will run away from pursuit once he gains a step. He has strong ball skills and maintains his catch focus in a crowd or open space. Overall, Palmer lacks precision in his routes and overall consistency, but he is a dynamic height/weight/speed athlete with more talent than meets the eye.
It will be intriguing how Palmer does at the higher level, but his final season at UAB he finished with 47 receptions for 858 yards and seven touchdowns.
At 6-2 210lbs, Palmer has a unique blend of size and speed.
Welcome to the desert, Tejhaun.
