Andrew Wingard, a former safety for the University of Wyoming Cowboys, has signed a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals. Wingard spent the first seven years of his NFL career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he started 44 games and recorded 346 tackles and 6 interceptions.

This signing also highlights the continued success of Wyoming football players transitioning to the NFL, with Wingard being one of a dozen Cowboys on NFL rosters last season.
The details

During his time with the Jaguars, he started 44 games and finished his career in Florida with 346 tackles and 6 interceptions, including 2 in the 2020 season against future Hall of Famer Philip Rivers. Last season, Wingard recorded 84 tackles, 1 interception, and 1 fumble recovery as the Jaguars made the playoffs before losing in the Wild Card round.
