5 hidden gems on the Arizona Cardinals roster who will surprise in 2023
Emari Demercado earned a spot on the Arizona Cardinals’ 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent

1 - Emari Demercado, RB
Look for the Cardinals to use him on third-and-long or third-and-medium, and he will get plenty of chances to sneak out of the backfield and catch some passes. It’s backs like Demercado with pass-catching potential who create headaches for opposing defensive coordinators, even if they are nothing more than role players. And who knows, maybe the Cards got a Duke Johnson type of player in Demercado?

Deion Sanders: If Colorado can protect the QB, 'there's gonna be some problems' | Saturday Out West

Having received all of the attention all off season, Deion Sanders & his Buffaloes finally put it on the field Saturday

No longer will the discussion be about what Sanders can do to revive one of the worst teams in the country last season, but, tangibly, what is actually working between the lines. Say ta-ta to the talk, the win-loss column is going to be driving the narrative more than anything as we will transition from speculation into plays to diagram, turnovers to diagnose, and missed coaching opportunities to debate.

It doesn't help Sanders and his team that they'll have to contend with the weight of all that combined with their actual opponent being far from a typical warmup act.
