DJ Waller, a defensive back for the Cardinals, will join the team in 2026. Standing at 6'3" and weighing 210lbs, Waller previously played for Michigan's National Championship team in 2023, where he appeared in 11 games for the Maize and Blue. He was a starter opposite Halloway at corner this past season, and the team expects him to be aggressive behind the line.
Waller's 200+ pound frame and arm length make him ideal for breaking up passes and creating disruption at the second level. The Cardinals plan to use players like Waller in blitz packages to create havoc for the offense, hoping to generate sacks and interceptions.
