Tight end Joseph Fauria burst onto the scene during the 2013 NFL season, and the Arizona Cardinalsare banking on a return to form after his 2014 season was cut short due to injury.
The Cardinals confirmed the deal on Thursday, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network the first to report the agreement.
The Detroit Lions cut Fauria following their final preseason game, but there's no denying he has the athletic credentials necessary to succeed in a pass-happy NFL. At 6'7'' and 259 pounds, he assumes the form of the prototypical modern tight end.
