Arizona Cardinals to meet with Syracuse pass rusher Fadil Diggs
Arizona Cardinals to meet with Syracuse pass rusher Fadil Diggs Add Syracuse pass rusher Fadil Diggs to the list of pass rushers the Cardinals are considering.
The Arizona Cardinals are doing predraft work on hundreds of player prospects, but the position that seems to be getting the most attention is on the defensive edge. Many of their top-30 visits have been with the top pass-rushing prospects in the draft.
One player the Cardinals have been in contact with is Syrasuce EDGE Fadil Diggs. Diggs told Justin Melo for The Draft Network that he has had a lot of virtual meetings on Zoom and noted that he is going to meet with the Cardinals as well as the New York Giants, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Diggs played four seasons for Texas A&M before transferring to Syracuse. After four sacks and 11 tackles for loss in 2023 for A&M, he finished his college career logging 7.5 sacks and 14 tackles for loss, both career-highs.
He also was fantastic at the NFL combine, showing elite athletic traits.
He is 6-foot-4 and 257 pounds with 33 3/8-inch arms. His 40 time was 4.57 seconds and he posted a 30.5-inch vertical leap and 121-inch broad jump.
He is viewed largely as a Day 3 prospect, but with his size, production and athleticism, we will see. The Cardinals have selections in the fourth, fifth and seventh rounds of the draft.

Kirk and Clase lead Blue Jays past Cardinals 5-4 in 10 innings
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Alejandro Kirk homered and had four hits, including a go-ahead double in the 10th inning as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied last in a 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. Kirk opened the 10th with a double off Phil Maton (0-2) to score automatic runner Addison Barger from second base. Jeff Hoffman then pitched a 1-2-3 inning for his 16th save in 19 opportunities, helping the Blue Jays (36-30) win for the 10th time in 12 games. After blowing a three-run lead in the eighth, Toronto tied it at 4 in the ninth when No. 9 batter Jonatan Clase hit his first home run this year and the second of his career — a one-out shot off Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley. Kirk launched his fourth home run, a solo shot, on a full-count pitch from reliever Riley O'Brien for a 3-0 lead in the eighth. But in the bottom half, Willson Contreras doubled home the first St. Louis run and Iván Herrera hit a three-run homer off Yariel Rodríguez (1-0) to give the Cardinals a 4-3 lead. Rodríguez, who entered with two on and two outs in a 3-0 game, had allowed just one of 13 inherited runners to score this season. Blue Jays starter José Berríos allowed two hits in 6 2/3 shutout innings. Toronto used George Springer's run-scoring double in the first and Bo Bichette's RBI single in the second to grab a 2-0 lead against starter Andres Pallente, who permitted seven hits in six innings. Key moment Berríos' exit in the seventh energized the Cardinals before Clase and Kirk came through late for the Blue Jays. Key stat The Blue Jays lead the all-time series 15-14. They won all three games against the Cardinals last season in Toronto. Up next Toronto RHP Chris Bassitt (6-3, 3.56 ERA) starts Tuesday against Cardinals RHP Miles Mikolas (4-2, 3.96). ___ AP MLB:
