Markus Golden is an American football outside linebacker for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL).
He played college football at Missouri and was drafted by the Cardinals in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Golden previously played for the New York Giants.
Golden was able to make a significant contribution to Missouri’s team despite the fact that he joined the squad late due to problems with the clearinghouse. He participated in all 12 games (mostly on special teams) and had 10 tackles while also causing one fumble in total.
In addition to that, he was a significant contributor to a variety of special teams units.
Golden led the Missouri defensive ends with 55 tackles in 2013, despite playing roughly 40% of the snaps behind Kony Ealy and Michael Sam. He also had 13 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, and 8 pass breakups in addition to those statistics. Golden was a junior in 2013.
Golden was widely regarded as one of the best pass rushers in the country heading into his senior season.
Before a hamstring injury slowed him down and also held him out of the game against Indiana, he lived up to the hype by recording 21 tackles and 4 sacks in the first three games. He then missed the game against Indiana.
