Cardinals Sign Aussie Rules Player Joel Wilkinson

The Cardinals signed a pair of defensive backs Tuesday, including extending veteran safety Chris Clemons before he hit free agency in March.

The other pickup comes from the other side of the world.

The Cardinals have signed former Australian Rules Football player Joel Wilkinson, a 6-foot, 190-pound cornerback

hopeful who is trying to make it in the NFL after a career in the Australian game.

Wilkinson is the second AFL player to come to the NFC West in the past year. The 49ers signed running back Jarryd Hayne last year.
