Reggie Virgil Drafted as WR Depth for the Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals selected Texas Tech WR Reggie Virgil in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Virgil caught just two passes across his first two seasons at Miami (Ohio) before grabbing a starting role in 2024. He earned second-team All-MAC honors that season, finishing second on the team with 816 receiving yards and first with 9 receiving TDs. Virgil parlayed that season into a move to Texas Tech this past year. There, he tallied a career-high and team-high 57 catches for 705 yards and 6 scores. Virgil mustered just 1.50 yards per route, though, ranking 44th among 49 WRs invited to this year’s Combine. The overall production profile is uninspiring, although it’s worth noting that Virgil is still only 21 and played QB up until 2020. That gives him more room for growth than the average rookie. But Virgil is ultimately unlikely to emerge as a real fantasy asset.
