The Facts: When folks thought of the Cardinals in 2020, Arnold's name wasn't coming to mind before DeAndre Hopkins, Kyler Murray or Larry Fitzgerald. Arnold probably wouldn't have landed among the first 10 Cardinals mentioned last season, yet he did finish among the top three in receiving for Arizona, catching 31 passes for 438 yards and four touchdowns. Now wearing Panther blues, Arnold is prepared to take another big step in 2021, his first in Carolina. "I'm just ready to take on a bigger role, I guess," Arnold said. "Having the opportunity to start becoming a good player and a guy who can make a difference on this team, I'm most excited for that."

Diehards Line: Remember, Arnold had more receiving yardage than Fitzgerald, who had 54 catches for 409 yards and one score (albeit in less games). Arnold's 2020 totals accounted for career-high marks in every notable category. It was a relative breakout season for a player who was previously an afterthought, and one that earned him a new opportunity elsewhere. "I feel like I've done my time," Arnold said. "I'm ready to go out and make plays consistently." He might get a chance to do that in a Panthers offense coordinated by Joe Brady. Last year, Carolina made progress by targeting its trio of receivers (Robby Anderson, D.J. Moore and the since-departed Curtis Samuel) and largely overlooking the tight end position. That won't be the case in 2021 if Brady has his way. "The tree that I grew up in, the tight ends are the most important position on the field, the matchups that they create, and everything," Brady said. Adding to the intrigue, Arnold began his career in New Orleans, where he played for the same staff under which Brady cut his teeth.
