The Arizona Cardinals are deep into their 2026 NFL draft prep, and that includes meeting with draft prospects. They will have met with scores of players between the combine, pro days, all-star games, school visits and visits to team headquarters.
One player to keep an eye on is Arizona safety Treydan Stukes.

In an interview with SI.com’s Justin Melo, Stukes revealed that he has had an in-person meeting with the Arizona Cardinals and other teams at their team facilities. For the visit with the Cardinals, it means one of two things. He was either part of their local pro day, where they invite prospects from around the area to meet with them and not have it count as an official top-30 visit, or they used one of their 30 allowed player visits. Walter Football’s tracker says it was a local pro day.
Stukes is 6-1 and 190 pounds and freakishly athletic. He ran the 40 in 4.33 seconds and posted a vertical leap of 38 inches and a 130-inch broad jump. He was a team captain and has super-high football and personal character. He also made plays in his final season for the Wildcats, picking off four passes and breaking up six.
If he can be a great special teams player to start out, he would make a great Day 3 pick, and he perhaps might end up a priority free agent.
