Trevor Knight walked off the field in his black No. 1 practice jersey on Friday, but instead of heading straight to his scheduled radio appearance, he had three other jerseys to drop off, No. 3, No. 5 and No. 7.
Rookie duty calls.
Knight understands it. He did it to freshmen in college and he hopes that someday he will have the opportunity to have his pads carried off the field by rookies.
With Carson Palmer sitting out most of practice, it’s given Knight, who signed with the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent, more time on the field gaining experience behind fellow quarterbacks Drew Stanton and Blaine Gabbert.
