Undersized mlb from florida. Took him in second round (third?). Didn’t make it outta training camp.
Florida St, third round. Yes, cut at end of camp. Played a couple of more seasona for the Lions and Colts.

3 years....24 tackles.... no other stats.

I didn't know that off the top of my head, i just looked him up. Definitely a "He might be small, but he is also slow" kind of LB.

It would be fun to make up a starting roster of no name players who have been designated starters for the Cards over their more recent history. In other words, guys who were starters yet not good enough to even make some other teams. I have no memory for names but will begin the lineup with Niemann, then I will update our list here as each of you add someone to it in your post.

At least Wakefield has the excuse of being moved from Defense to Offense...and he could also block kicks.

I still have nightmares of Tito Paul roaming the secondary.
@ 3:05 Kent Graham beating Tito Paul to end the '98 Broncos undefeated streak in week 15, doesn't get more bad Cardinals then this!

Kicker Steve Little out of Arkansas with the 15th overall pick (yeah, I know this is about undrafted guys starting)... but, winner, winner, chicken dinner :)
