The Arizona Cardinals have officially signed tight-end Kitoriano as part of their ongoing

free agency moves. The 6-foot 6-259-pound player was drafted in the 5th round, 170th overall

by the Houston Texans back in. 2022 out of Oregon State.

Kitoriano has appeared in 40 career games with 16 starts across Houston from 2022 to 2024

in Atlanta last year. He has nine catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns in his pro career.

He joins a strong Cardinals tight-end group led by Tray McBride along with Elijah Higgins

and Tip Reiman. The team loves using multiple tight-end sets, a scheme that fits right in with

New Head Coach Mike LaFleur's style. LaFleur comes over from the Rams where his offense

ranked top 10 in 12 and 13 personnel packages last season. That background suggests more

of the same in Arizona. Kitoriano figures to compete mainly on special teams where he

played 54% of his snaps last year with the Falcons. The Cardinals just hired new special

team's coordinator, Michael Gobriel. Someone LaFleur knows well and praises for his energy.
