Alan Ball and his Fit with the Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals added another veteran cornerback to their roster in Alan Ball.

Ball is a nine year veteran to the NFL and has bounced around quite a bit, since 2011 he has played for four different teams.

After years of being misused as a safety and slot cornerback, Bradley finally put Ball in the position that's best-suited for his skills. Ball spent 33.6% of his snaps last season lined up in press coverage, which isn't as high a rate as the Seattle cornerbacks, but still well above the league average of 27.3%.

What stands out on Ball's film is how good he uses press-bail technique to prevent deep passes.
