Former UH Warrior Jameel Dowling agrees to free agent contract with the Arizona Cardinals

After not being selected in this weekend’s National Football League draft, former University of Hawaii Warrior cornerback Jameel Dowling agreed to a free agent contract with the Arizona Cardinals.

After graduating from UH in December, Jameel wanted to stay in Hawaii. Having not been invited to the NFL Combine, Jameel knew that his one opportunity to perform for the scouts was at the UH Pro Day. Starting in January, Jameel began training at Tactical Strength and Conditioning to prepare for the Pro Day. 

	Pre-test	Pro Day
Vertical Jump	26.5 inches	28.5 inches
Broad Jump	9 feet	9 feet 9 inches
225-pound bench	12 reps	17 reps
40-yard dash	4.91 sec.	4.59 sec.
Pro agility	5.02 sec.	4.61 sec.
L-test	8.12 sec.	7.27 sec.

Jameel’s performance at Pro Day showed a lot of improvement, which led to a private workout with the Seattle Seahawks. However on draft day, it was the Arizona Cardinals that came calling. They were looking for a big corner (Pro Day measurements – Height: 6-1 7/8; Weight: 206) and liked what they saw in Jameel.

Jameel will report to the Cardinals mini-camp, May 1-3.
