When Justin Bethel lost his starting cornerback job last season, he was convinced it was purely tied to his bothersome broken foot.
Now that he’s healthy, evidence is mounting to back up that belief.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians highlighted Bethel for his stellar play throughout offseason work as minicamp wrapped on Thursday, counting five or six interceptions Bethel nabbed over the past few weeks.
Bethel seems to have the inside track on the starting cornerback job opposite Patrick Peterson heading into training camp, as he showed well in off-coverage drills, getting his hand “on a ton of balls,” Arians said.
