Devin Duvernay Boosts Cardinals' Special Teams

0:00On March 29th, the Arizona Cardinals just locked in Devon DuVernay on a one-year deal, and this could be a game changer for their special teams. While their wide receivers like Marvin Harrison Jr and Michael Wilson are stacked at the top, DuVernay brings elite return skills that Arizona has, been missing. He's bounced around from the Ravens to Jacksonville, and last year with the Bears, where he ranked third in the league with 1,300 total, return yards. That speed on kickoffs and punts averaged him close to 27 yards per kick, return last season. Fans and analysts are buzzing because DuVernay is a two-time pro-bola from 2021 and 2022, plus first team all pro then. Same year as a returner. At 28 years old, he's got the burst to flip-field position and spark momentum. His receiving game is solid with over a thousand career yards, but in Arizona, expect him mainly flipping tires on returns rather than chasing. Catches. That focus could turn weak special teams into a strength without messing with their offense.
