- Michael Carter: Carter brings a burst of speed and agility to the Cardinals' backfield. His ability to make defenders miss in tight spaces could make him a valuable asset as a change-of-pace back.

What Makes a Good Backup?
A reliable backup running back needs several key attributes:
- Pass Protection: Protecting the quarterback is paramount. A running back who can consistently pick up blitzes is invaluable.
- Receiving Skills: In today's NFL, running backs are often used as receivers out of the backfield. The ability to catch passes adds another dimension to the offense.
- Consistency: Coaches need to trust that the backup can execute the play as designed, whether it's a run up the middle or a check-down pass.
The battle for the backup running back position will be one to watch as the season unfolds. Each candidate brings a unique skill set to the table, and their performance in training camp and preseason games will ultimately determine who gets the nod.
