The Arizona Cardinals wrapped up their rookie mini-camp over the weekend which included draft picks, undrafted players who earned a contract and also try outs from rookies.
The final group included former Air Force Falcons football linebacker Ryan Watson who took part of the three-day camp even though head coach Bruce Arians knew that this cadet, even if good enough, would not be able to be a Cardinal for two years.
"I think it's dumb," Arians told reporters after Friday's rookie minicamp practice.
The day of the NFL Draft the Department of Defense made an announcement that the policy that would allow cadets to be able to pursue a pro contract on a case by case basis would not go into effect and the two-year service requirement would not be altered.
