Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noted the new player's role on the team:
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
At No. 16, the #AZCardinals take Tusla LB Zaven Collins, who they’ll play at SAM backer and replace Haason Reddick.
Collins is an exceptional talent and has proved doubters wrong after Tulsa was the only Division I school to offer him a scholarship. He's supremely athletic, as evidenced by his exploits as a gymnast and baseball player during his childhood. Collins was also the quarterback of his high school team.
