Honestly, Earl Watford had never given much thought to playing center.
Then, this offseason before the Cardinals returned to the practice field for organized team activities and the offensive lineman was on his own, it was pretty much all he worked on.
The Cards did have a vacancy at the position, although the team drafted Evan Boehm and had veteran A.Q. Shipley who had started there. While coach Bruce Arians said Watford too has a chance to win the job, Watford’s efforts are more about helping himself win a job in an area with many question marks in June: The reserves on the offensive line.
