  Cardinals | Looking for consistency from LaRon Byrd    Fri Jun 14, 06:26 PM

Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said WR LaRon Byrd did not impress him much during minicamp because he was too inconsistent. 'He had a couple nice catches that were unbelievable throws. (But) he's too inconsistent right now. He has talent and a good future, but he's got to get more consistent,' Arians said.

Footballguys view: Byrd is an intriguing prospect to keep an eye on in super deep dynasty leagues. He has a large frame, wingspan, and vertical leap to be a dangerous downfield target. It sounds like he needs to be more consistent if he wants to make the final roster in 2013.

He's a big receiver who can fly down the field and track the ball deep. Byrd is a perfect fit for the Bruce Arians offense.

  Cardinals | LaRon Byrd makes presence felt    Sat Jun 30, 11:27 PM

Arizona Cardinals WR LaRon Byrd, an undrafted rookie free agent, had a strong showing at organized team activities (OTAs) and minicamp. In his hometown back in Louisiana, people nicknamed him 'Little Fitzgerald.' Now, he is playing alongside WR Larry Fitzgerald, a player he idolized growing up. The two have struck up a friendship, and the Pro Bowler has taken the rookie under his wing. Byrd turned heads in minicamp, making several impressive catches, but he still has an uphill battle to make the club in training camp and the preseason.
