Like a group of guys playing two-hand touch in a park, NFL players have been playing football in shorts (or jeans, as the case may be) for the past couple months. For the Arizona Cardinals, that ends today. But instead of grabbing a sixer of refreshing Bud Light Lime like the park guys, the Redbirds will be picking up their shoulder pads and starting to play some real football. That’s right—training camp starts today in Glendale.
Training camp is the time to stop talking and start proving it on the field. That goes for everyone—established veterans, free agent acquisitions, up-and-coming young players, and (obviously) rookies.
