Arizona Cardinals: Top 5 breakout player candidates for 2018
4. Ricky Seals-Jones, TE
The Cardinals need someone to step up at the tight end position with Jermaine Gresham providing more of a block-first, catch-second style of play.
Ricky Seals-Jones came out in a class loaded at the tight end position and didn’t blow anyone away with his athletic ability at the 2017 Scouting Combine.
He was essentially a big wide receiver at Texas A&M where he was productive, especially from 2014-15 where he caught 89 passes for 1,025 yards and eight touchdowns.
Seals-Jones stepped up as injuries piled up for the Cardinals at tight end and wound up catching 12 passes as a rookie with three going for touchdowns.
He made Troy Niklas expendable and the Cardinals believe in his ability to add another mismatch element to the offense going forward.
