Most of the 2017 season went down as an incomplete for former Penn State football linebacker and current Arizona Cardinal Gerald Hodges. He built up a decent career for himself over his years in the league, but he looked to be on his way out after a quiet 2017 with the New Orleans Saints. Instead, Hodges bounced back for a solid 2018 in Arizona after signing with the franchise in the preseason.
The veteran linebacker ended up playing in all 16 games, including six starts. He recorded 55 total tackles (sixth on the team) and two tackles for loss with his in-game reps.
