That's what I thought also?
2019 4th round pick is Hakeem Butler WR

Why would you keep a guy around if he had poor work ethic.

Because he wasn't costing a roster space and you hope you can get him to turn the light on?
We kept DJ Humphries on the roster for 5 years and then paid him top LT money
thats BS. Your talking about being someone who is lazy vs someone who isn’t ready to play at a high level in the NFL. Those are two very different things.
go back and watch that draft night he was a project when he was drafted. Never projected to be day
two very very different things
Yea, a lot of players get nicknames KneeDeep because their coach can't get them to act and work like a professional.
have you heard DJ talk about that?
your taking a sound bite and running with it. That’s exactly what it was a sound bite
Ive heard DJ complain that he didn't like BA and say he felt he was talked down to.
All I know is I have NEVER in my entire life watching the NFL have I seen a non QB...first round pick...that couldnt get on the field for his entire rookie year. We even had injuries at RT that year and they still wouldn't DJ on the field.
BA was notorious for not likeing to play rookies...yet DJ is the ONLY one that never got on the field.
Humphries managed to play 30 games at LT (The position he was drafted to play) in 5 years...while pocketing 18.5 million bucks
But you're right...hes a super hard worker, a genius, and has been totally misread and mistreated by coaches throughout his career.

Quibble with the reports, not me. I mean, unless you just want to argue to be argumentative.
I don't remember anyone saying that he had a poor work ethic. It was more his route running and inconsistent hands that had him at the back of the line.
pretty much. Everything I’ve read is he’s not ready for prime time.
It’s always lazy, quit, dumb as to why guys take longer than others. Just a little odd

He was a 20-year-old immature kid and that, in football terms, is aeons ago.
In that time Arians retired; did the TV thing and came back to the League.
I always assumed KneeDeep was BA’s way of lighting a fire under a really talented player.
I said non-qb
Then why has he been well below average his entire career. Use whatever grading system you want, DJ is always in the bottom 10 of the league as a LT.

Someone posted an article or articles stating the only reason he wasn't cut was because of the injury, the team was that fed up with him.

This is what Stout is referring to...
Yesterday, PFN NFL Insider Tony Pauline discussed the frustration that has been brewing for some time.
“Last fall I was told the team was not happy with their fourth-round pick from the 2019 draft and the Cardinals were relieved they had to place him on injured reserve rather than face the embarrassment of cutting him before the regular season. I heard further confirmation of this during the Scouting Combine three weeks ago.”

It doesn’t necessarily say work ethic but if the rumor is true something about him didn’t sit well with the team.

Yeah, it’s called he wouldn’t **** on social media!!! He had a lot of controversial opinions from what I saw last year. Not sure now since I’m not on Twitter anymore.

Hakeem Butler won’t be on the team much longer.

Cutting Butler would be a disaster.
Passed up Chauncey Gardner Johnson, Maxx Crosby, Hunter Renfrow and Darius Slayton for him.
