On Saturday, the NFL held its “back to football” weekend, the first weekend of most team’s training camp.
The Arizona Cardinals participated in that. While it was a regular practice and fans were in State Farm Stadium, head coach Jonathan Gannon addressed the crowd and the team recognized many alumni players.
Many are familiar names.
I did my best to catch the introduction of every player, but these were the former Cardinals who were on hand and announced to the crowd:
