With Alabama running back Najee Harris, and Virginia Tech cornerback Caleb Farley still on the board, the Arizona Cardinals went a completely different route and drafted Tulsa linebacker Zaven Collins with their 16th pick.
Collins finished with 236 tackles and 7.5 sacks in three seasons with the Golden Hurricane. He also had a career-high four interceptions in 2020 to go along with a career-high four sacks and two forced fumbles.
