In years past, the Arizona Cardinals have employed head coaches who have shied away from rookies. Stocking the roster with experienced performers became the norm for a fair number of the team’s on-field leaders.

The new coaching staff will enter the 2019 campaign with an eye-popping 12 first-year youngsters on their squad. It can certainly be argued that pro football is a young man’s sport, but can the Cards seriously expect to have success with that many unknowns in their locker room?
