Draft Scouting Report
Palmer is an interesting rookie for the Cardinals because he's big and has some decent speed. His final year at Alabama-Birmingham was his best, totaling seven scores and 858 yards on 47 catches in 12 games. Naturally, Palmer has an uphill battle for playing time but could find a chance to contribute with a strong preseason. Plus, aside from Marvin Harrison Jr., there isn't a long list of talented receivers for him to beat out. Keep his name in mind if you're in a deep rookie-only draft.

Cardinals' Tejhaun Palmer: Added to receiver room in 'Zona
The Cardinals selected Palmer in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 191st overall.
It's a bit of a surprise that Palmer was drafted prior to the seventh round, but he has some interesting traits. He stands at 6-foot-2 with 4.45 speed according to UAB's Pro Day data and was a Third Team All-AAC player in 2023. However, he will turn 24 in May. He caught 47 passes for 858 yards and seven touchdowns last season and began his career at Snow College in Utah. Even with the age concern, there are intriguing elements to his game if he can make a quick transition to the next level.
