The Arizona Cardinals went heavy at the wide receiver position in the 2019 NFL Draft.
With three players taken at the position in their first seven picks, the Cardinals stocked up on players at the position who bring unique skill sets.
For example, second-round pick Andy Isabella ran a 4.31 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, while fourth-round pick Hakeem Butler pumped out 18 bench press reps. The two also have quite the size discrepancy.

Isabella and Butler both attended the NFLPA Rookie Premiere class and posed next to each other in a group photo, accentuating the eight-inch height difference. Â
Isabella at 5-foot-9 and Butler at 6-foot-5 stand in the front row of the photo, along with Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, who stands on the other side of the row.
Butler nearly stands taller than Detroit Lions first-round pick tight end T.J. Hockenson.
