Just last month, the Arizona Cardinals first-round draft pick of three years ago found a way to embarrass the organization. Defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche was cited not once, but twice, for traffic violations. Charges against the player included speeding and driving with a suspended license, and a white powdery substance was found in his car as well.
Don’t look now, but Nkemdiche has gotten under the skin of the Cardinals yet again. The 24-year old reported to training camp looking a bit on the flabby side, a disappointing follow-up to the transgressions that occurred in June. When questioned about the situation, head coach Kliff Kingsbury looked annoyed as he admitted that Nkemdiche was “not in shape”.
