Arizona Cardinals sign AFL’s Joel Wilkinson

There are many different kinds of “football” throughout the world and the Arizona Cardinal’s executive team is looking at all of them to find the next diamond in the rough. The Cardinals have signed Joel Wilkinson from the Australian Rules Football League to the roster as the team enters the offseason.

Projecting as a cornerback for the NFL, its a bit hard to translate how stats translate from Aussie Rules to the NFL, but Wilkinson is just over six foot tall and weighs about 180 lbs. The perfect size for a young, fast cornerback in the NFL where smaller sized backs are usually paired against taller receivers.
