The Arizona Cardinals took Presbyterian cornerback Justin Bethel in the sixth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday. He is freakishly athletic. The Cardinals list him on the roster now as a safety. Oddly enough, they once drafted a freakishly athletic safety many years ago -- Adrian Wilson.

Adrian Wilson became a YouTube star with his video in which he jumped over a 66 inch high bar. Here it is:

Let's hope that athleticism translates in to something worthwhile on the field.
