Breaking: Cardinals poach Steelers safety Curtis Riley off their practice squad
Today the Arizona Cardinals poached safety Curtis Riley off the practice squad roster of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In 2015, Curtis Riley went undrafted after a stellar career at Fresno State. He signed with the Tennessee Titans, and also had a stint with the New York Giants and Oakland Raiders. Riley impressed the Steelers heavily this off-season and made the initial 53 man roster.
The day after cut downs Riley and QB Duck Hodges were both released.
Riley is a very solid free safety who stands at 6000 tall and weighs 203 pounds. Riley is just 27 and has been a very solid player on special teams.
He has had a pretty solid career, and will continue to do that this year.
The Arizona Cardinals have several safeties on their roster, but it makes you wonder if they have an injury at the position.
