Undrafted Safety Earns Spot | Arizona Cardinals News

An undrafted rookie safety, Wydett Williams, stunned the NFL world by earning a spot on the Arizona Cardinals’ 53-man roster — one of only five safeties on the team. After signing this spring and impressing throughout preseason, Williams overcame a past legal battle that once threatened his college eligibility, now fully behind him. Head coach Mike LaFleur joked he’s “earned his spot” and won’t be playing Saturdays in college anymore. With bigger names like BJ Ojulari and Sean Murphy-Bunting cut, the Cardinals are clearly betting on internal development — no safeties on the practice squad, despite open spots. Williams’ rise is a powerful reminder: hard work and performance speak louder than draft pedigree. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
