Virginia's Hard-Hitting Safety Turned NFL Depth Piece
Joey Blount, the ex-Virginia Cavaliers safety, dominated college with 95 tackles (60 solo), 3 INTs, and 3 PBUs in 2019, plus 11 tackles in the ACC Championship vs. Clemson—showcasing elite tackling intensity and big-game poise. Now 25 and on the Arizona Cardinals' roster (PFF grade 66.1 in 2024 over 20 snaps), his special teams hustle (forced fumble, onside recoveries) and 6'2" frame make him a gritty, reliable depth fit for teams needing versatile, high-motor DBs who thrive in clutch moments without injury red flags.
