With the 43rd pick in the 2024 NFL Draft the Arizona Cardinals select Rutgers cornerback Max Melton.
Melton is a freak athlete with elite production out of Rutgers.
From Dane Brugler’s “The Beast”:
A four-year starter at Rutgers, Melton was an inside-outside cornerback in head coach Greg Schiano’s balanced coverage schemes. After one season as a defensive back in high school, he made the full transition for the Scarlet Knights and accounted for 30 passes defended and eight interceptions over the last three seasons (he and his brother, Bo, made Rutgers history by becoming the first brothers to score a touchdown in the same game).
