Former Auburn Riverside and University of Idaho wide receiver Max Komar is making some noise in the NFL.
Komar, a undrafted free agent with the Arizona Cardinals, has made a case for a roster spot, showcasing his receiving skills in both of the Cardinal’s preseason games and catching the Cardinals only touchdown in Monday night’s 24-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
Quarterback Max Hall found Komar in the middle of the field at the 9-yard line, and Komar split a pair of defenders to get the score. Komar finished the game with three catches for 48 yards.
In the Cardinals first game of the preseason, Komar helped spark a Cardinal comeback against the Houston Texans with a 36-yard catch along the sidelines. Komar finished that game with two catches for 42 yards.
The 5-foot-11, 202 pound Komar is hoping to catch on with the Cardinals as the team’s No. 5 receiver, likely at the slot position, a spot he excelled at as a senior in college, gaining 1,052 yards and 11 touchdowns on 63 catches.
