Cardinals
Despite running a 4.47 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, Cardinals WR Christian Kirk said he feels like he’s been slighted over his short NFL career for not really being that fast. The former second-round pick in his second season admitted he felt vindicated in some way by outrunning the entire Buccaneers defense on two of his three touchdowns Sunday.
“That sits with me,” Kirk said via Darren Urban of the team website. “Ever since draft day and hearing everybody talk. Every Sunday I go out there and keep continuing to prove people wrong. I keep trying to put on film, I haven’t been caught from behind too many times. Just keep trying to outrun people.”
