LISTEN: Bruce Arians, Cardinals Head Coach

With the No. 24 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals selected Florida offensive tackle D.J. Humphries.

The 6-foot-5, 307-pound Humphries declared for the draft following his junior season in Gainesville.

As a freshman in 2012, Humphries played in all 12 games for the Gators and was named to the All-SEC Freshman Team and was a Sporting News Freshman All-American.

He missed the last five games of his 2013 season due to a sprained MCL, but did play almost 70 percent of the team’s snaps in 2014. He played in 29 career games with 19 starts.

He ran a 5.12 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and posted a 31-inch vertical.

Humphries has been lauded for his toughness, demeanor, and ability as a run blocker.

This is the first time the Cardinals have drafted an offensive tackle in the first round since 2007.
