Cardinals' Draft Day Snafu: Wrong Number, Right Pick

0:00It's April 24th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Corey with the story. The Arizona Cardinals had their heart set on Notre Dame running back, Jeremiah Love, at pick number three in the draft. But when it was time to call him and lock it in, they hit a snag with the wrong phone number, causing a short delay before turning in the card. Cardinals general manager Monti Osonfort owned up to it straight up, saying they got the number fixed quick and got love on the line. He stressed there were hardly any trade talks, just some my chatter that went nowhere. This mix up ties back to the NFL tightening rules on player contact info after print calls hit prospects last year. Now teams get numbers through one secure point person in operations to keep things safe. It's still a mystery how the league sorted the bad numbers so fast for Arizona to make the call right before submitting the pick. In the end, Love's on the team now, and the Cardinals dodged a bigger headache, proving even pros deal with everyday glitches on draft nay.
