As the Arizona Cardinals prepare for training camp starting July 22, defensive lineman L.J. Collier stands out as a key player to watch. Selected in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks, Collier transitioned to the Cardinals in 2023 as an unrestricted free agent, signing a one-year contract worth $3 million with $1.5 million guaranteed.

In the previous season, he made a significant impact on the field, participating in 17 games with 15 starts. He recorded 29 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and showed versatility by contributing to both defensive and special teams plays. With the Cardinals looking to solidify their roster and establish roles, Collier's performance will be crucial for their defensive strategy moving forward.
