Cardinals selected Iowa LB Karson Sharar with the No. 183 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25 April 2026

Sharar earned a starting role in his fifth and final season at Iowa, totaling 83 tackles, 12 TFLs, four, one forced fumble, one sack and one pass defended. He also missed 18 tackles and will need to refine his playstyle. Sharar, 23, stands 6’2/231 and tested well at the NFL Scouting Combine with a 4.56-second 40 and a 40” vertical jump. He should be able to contribute on special teams right away.
