TEMPE, Arizona -- Who is Rodney Gunter?
He is a defensive end who played at Delaware State. He's 6-foot-5 and 305 lbs. He's a cousin of former Arizona Cardinals tight end D.C. Jefferson. He can supposedly dunk a basketball, and the Cardinals liked him enough to trade away three picks -- 123 (4th round), 198 (6th round) and 241 (7th round) -- for number 116, where they took him in the fourth round.
"I'm very versatile," Gunter said of his game. "I can bring a hard-working guy, and I potentially could be the next J.J. Watt."
Lofty comparison, yes, but Gunter said his goal is to be the best he can be, so that's the goal.
Getting drafted is a start.
Gunter said he expected to be picked sometime in round five or later, but it was "a blessing, a dream come true" to go in the fourth to Arizona.
