Michael Floyd NFL Draft Bio

Michael Floyd (born November 27, 1989) is an American football wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Cardinals in the 1st round, 13th overall, of the 2012 NFL Draft. He played college football at Notre Dame.

As a true freshman at Notre Dame, Floyd played in 11 of Notre Dame's 13 games on the year, only missing the final two games of the regular season (Syracuse and USC) due to an injury sustained early (third play of the game) against Navy. He recorded seven touchdown receptions on the year, breaking the record for an Irish rookie (previously held by teammate Duval Kamara's four TDs in 2007), while catching 48 balls to break another Notre Dame freshman record in receptions (Kamara had 32 in 2007). His 719 receiving yards set the mark for Notre Dame first-year players (Tony Hunter had 690 in 1979).

Floyd began his sophomore season in stunning fashion with 3 touchdowns and 189 yards receiving on only 4 receptions. Later in the season, Floyd suffered a fractured clavicle, which would prevent him from playing in 5 of Notre Dame's 12 games. He would return from that injury and finish the season with 9 receiving touchdowns and almost 800 receiving yards in just 7 games of action.

In 2010, Floyd would start every game leading the Irish to an 8-5 record. He would end the season with 79 receptions for 1,025 yards and 12 touchdowns. The 79 catches ranked second in Notre Dame single-season history, while his 12 touchdowns tied for fourth most in a season and his 1,025 receiving yards ranked seventh. Floyd would be named MVP for Notre Dame and the Sun Bowl.

After receiving a citation for drunken driving on March 20, 2011, Floyd was suspended indefinitely from the Notre Dame football team on March 21, 2011. The suspension was lifted August 3, 2011, allowing him to return playing football at Notre Dame without missing any games of the 2011-2012 season. Coach Kelly would not however allow Floyd to remain team captain leaving senior Harrison Smith the lone captain.

After being suspended from team activities for several months, Floyd was reinstated in August just as fall practice began. In 2011, he would start every game leading the Irish to once again, an 8-5 record. He would finish the season with 100 receptions for 1,147 yards and 9 touchdowns, including one rushing touchdown. His 100 catches marked a new career best, and also set a new school record, surpassing former teammate Golden Tate's 93 receptions in 2009. He also set new school records for career receptions (271), career 100-yd games (16), receiving yards (3,689), and receiving touchdowns (37).
