Long-time NFL quarterback Byron Leftwich has been a coach for two years now, but in many ways, he’s still been the pupil.
Leftwich spoke fondly on Thursday of everything he learned from mentor Bruce Arians, who brought him to the Cardinals as an intern in 2016 and elevated him to quarterbacks coach last year.
“There were many nights me and him sat side-by-side, coming up with game plans, doing those types of things,” Leftwich said. “I was just grateful for him giving me that opportunity, to be able to learn so much in such a short period of time.
