5 teams who may call the Cleveland Browns about David Njoku

Arizona Cardinals

With Kliff Kingsbury leading the way in Arizona, Njoku seems to be a perfect fit for what Kingsbury wants the Cardinals offense to resemble. After showcasing the Air Raid offense at Texas Tech and showing great potential in the NFL, Njoku could be a missing link for Kingsbury’s offense.

Kingsbury’s offense showcases several playmakers on the perimeter, spreading the field and causing the defense to open up throwing and running lanes all over the field. Adding an uber-athletic tight end like Njoku will help with spreading the defense out.

The Arizona offense does not need a traditional in-line tight end who is a strong blocker. Instead, Kingsbury would prefer to have a pass catching tight end who can be a mismatch for whoever he is lined up against.

Kingsbury relied on his tight ends often in 2019 as he did not yet have the playmakers he need at wide receiver. In 2020, the Cardinals top two tight ends are expected to be Maxx Williams and Dan Arnold. Williams is a solid blend of a traditional tight end who can also be a solid receiver. Arnold was a midseason pickup who quickly acclimated to the Cardinals offense.

Njoku is more of a dynamic tight end compared to Williams and Arnold, and he would be another explosive target for the Cardinals, giving Kyler Murray the potential of a big play target in the middle of the field. Njoku in the middle of the field with the explosive burst to outrun linebackers and safeties could be exactly what Murray and Kingsbury need in their offense.
