What was kind of at least as far as.what that transition was like from quarterback to receiver for you going into your career in Florida State? He went undefeated in high school but you’re actually something of a high school football legend in Florida yourself at least a lot of people don’t know you play quarterback for the team.believe you won Mr. A lot of people say that you can’t talk about Kyler without talking about his Texas high school football record. As you mentioned him he’s been sensational for Arizona this season. You know, they can they can stifle your running game and I think those are the things that really count in the later months of the season.Ībsolutely. *laughs* But like I said, I think they’re built, you know, they play they can score points and they can keep people from scoring. *laughs* I was gonna say, you would know about that at least! And you have Rogers but I think, you know, the Cardinals have a pretty good success rate versus Aaron Rodgers. I mean, yeah, you have you have Brady in the, in the NFC. I think with the weapons that they have in place, Kyler Murray at the helm, I think they’re built to win right now. Do you think the Cardinals have a legit shot at a Super Bowl this year? Or is it going to be kind of a long-term deal of building themselves up? They still have got Rogers and Brady, obviously a tough division. You’re a former Super Bowl champion with the Ravens, the Cardinals right now have ascended to the top of the NFC. Now, you know something about winning a title. So that’s saying a lot to be able to lose a quarterback, your starting quarterback and still keep the ship right. And you know, think they only lost one game with Colt at the helm. Most teams, when you lose your starting quarterback, you’ll probably lose the next three out of four games, but you know, those guys really rallied around Colt. But I think the way that they dealt with it this year, has been a credit to them. And just like every every other team in the NFL, you deal with injuries or whatever. Do you see that same type of toughness in this year’s Cardinals team? Why or why not? Now, when the name Anquan Boldin comes to mind, the first word that I think of at least is “toughness”, I think that you helped bring a toughness to the Cardinals bring a toughness to that franchise, that toughness is a big part of like you said, turning Arizona around. So that’s something that I’m proud of.Ībsolutely. And, you know, we were able to do that, you know, with the help of a lot of guys that came in. And then I get drafted here, you know, kind of tasked with helping turn the franchise around. You know, before, I tell people, you know, before I was drafted here, I had never seen Arizona play on TV. You know, it’s something that I wear with a badge of honor. I think, for me, the thing that sticks out the most is like what you said, you know, helping take a franchise from the bottom of the NFL, and eventually be, you know, a team playing for a championship. What sticks out to you the most from your time, especially, maybe, during that 2008 run? You know, you’re drafted in 2003, you’re fourth all time in receiving for the team, you help lift the Cardinals into being a legit contender. Now, let’s go back and talk about some of your time with the Cardinals. So doesn’t hurt to have, you know, sports franchises that are doing well, like the Cardinals and the Suns that I think that it kind of drives it as well. And just talking to the people that work here, they say this place is busy everyday, all day. But I think out here in Arizona has been a long time coming, especially with all the casinos like popping up everywhere. There’s a huge boom with in person sport books and online so as an athlete and former star, why is that you think that sports betting in particular is such a big draw for people? Yeah, there’s been a huge advent of legalized sports betting. Catch up with some of my former teammates, Edgerrin and Kurt.
