The Arizona Cardinals' seventh-round pick, safety Kitan Crawford, has a tough road ahead in his rookie season. With a rich background in special teams, where he logged over 1,000 snaps in college, his chances of making the roster will depend heavily on his performance in that area. The Cardinals already have established safeties in Budda Baker, Jalen Thompson, and Rabbit Taylor-Demerson, along with Joey Blount, who is a key special teams player.

Crawford's path to a roster spot will require him to outshine Blount, who is known for his contributions on special teams. If Crawford fails to secure a position, he might find himself on the practice squad. Given the competition, particularly from proven players, it will be crucial for Crawford to excel in special teams drills and show his potential to contribute on defense.
