Cardinals Reportedly Bringing on Israel Woolfork as QB Coach

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray has a new position coach in Israel Woolfork, according to CBS Sports Insider Josina Anderson.

The Arizona Cardinals have quickly added to their coaching staff since introducing head coach Jonathan Gannon, and now it appears quarterback Kyler Murray will have a fresh face at his positional coach. 

CBS Sports' NFL insider Josina Anderson is reporting that Israel Woolfork is accepting the position. 

I'm now told that #Browns Bill Willis diversity coaching fellow Israel Woolfork has been informed he can join the Arizona #Cardinals staff, per league source. Woolfork is currently expected to be named as the #Cardinals QB coach.

Woolfork got his first opportunity in the NFL thanks to Cleveland's Bill Willis Coaching Fellowship. The Browns -per their website - created the opportunity for a rising minority coach with a focus on the offensive side of the ball.

He previously coached running backs and wide receivers at Miami University. 

Woolfork is just the latest addition to a Cardinals coaching staff that looks like this:

Head Coach: Jonathan Gannon

Offensive Coordinator: Drew Petzing

- OL Coach Klayton Adams

- WR or Passing Game Coordinator Drew Terrell

- QB Coach Israel Woolfork

Defensive Coordinator: Nick Rallis

Special Teams Coordinator: Jeff Rodgers

Woolfork has the task of trying to maximize Murray's talents, which can come as even a greater challenge with his recovery from a torn ACL.

More so, he will be tasked with preparing whoever the Cardinals have at quarterback until Murray is deemed healthy enough to return.
