Arizona Cardinals select with fifth round pick

The Arizona Cardinals have selected Texas Tech wide receiver Reggie Virgil with their fifth round draft pick.

Virgil is a 6-2 187lbs receiver that ran a 4.57 forty at the NFL Combine and played four years of college, three with Miami (Ohio) and then his final season with Tech.

From NFL.com:

Tall, competitive wideout who proved he could jump from the MAC to the Big 12 and remain productive. Virgil saw starting reps in just two seasons, but he plays like a more experienced wideout. He’s light on his feet to elude press. He can run challenging routes underneath, but he could use more attention to detail on some simpler routes. He has strong hands and good body control to win when contested. He’s not special in any one area but is solid in most. Virgil could compete for a role as a WR4 with special-teams value.

This is a nice fit for the Cardinals in terms of building out their receiver room with LaFleur guys. He may not have an impact as a receiver in year one, but he has valuable special teams traits.

Welcome to the desert, Reggie.
