Justin Bethel

Height: 6'0 / Weight: 200 / College: Presbyterian / Hometown: Blythewood, SC / DOB: June 17, 1990 / Pro Bowl Selection: 2013, 2014 Cornerback Justin Bethel range of skills has made him a valuable asset to the Arizona Cardinals, but his ability to block kicks is arguably his most highly regarded. After setting a Big South record for blocking nine kicks playing college football for Presbyterian, Bethel was chosen as a first round draft pick for the Cardinals in 2012. The first two years of his NFL career, Bethel blocked three field goal attempts alongside three previous kick blocks during the Cardinals' 2012 preseason. He played in all 48 games his first three seasons, notably receiving Pro Bowl selection in 2013 and 2014 as a special teamer. His first Pro Bowl victory came as a result for his impressive season which included 21 special teams tackles, blocking two field goals, and recovering a muffled kickoff. The following year he led the team with 18 special teams tackles, blocked one field goal, and forced a fumble on a punt return. His field goal block from a 2014 week 9 game also resulted in him being named NFL Special Teams Player of the Month for December 2014. Bethel has also enjoyed status as a Youtube sensation in February of 2012 when a video of the player demonstrating a 60 inch vertical jump from the flat-footed position received over one million views.
