Fleming tweets excitement about joining Cardinals

Cornerback Jamell Fleming took to Twitter Friday night and proudly donned his brand new Cardinals attire.

“Here I come! #BirdGang!” said Fleming on his Twitter page.

Fleming, who’s speed and physical presence was coveted by the Cardinals, was drafted 80th overall by the team.

General Manager Rod Graves said Fleming was the “highest-rated player on our board.”

Fleming has enjoyed tremendous success playing in Arizona. He was named the defensive MVP in both Oklahoma’s Insight Bowl win vs. Iowa last season and in the Fiesta Bowl win vs. Connecticut after the 2010 campaign.
