Calais Campbell’s return to Cardinals tastes ever so “M’m! M’m! Good!”

Calais Campbell’s 18-year NFL odyssey comes to fruition

Back in 2008 when the Arizona Cardinals drafted Calais Campbell in the 2nd round at pick #50, they essentially acquired the prototypical epitome of a 34 defensive end. Coming out of the University of Miami at 6’8”, 290 pounds, 35 3/4” arms, posting a 5.0 40. 1.72 10-yard split, 7.19 3-cone and 34.” vertical after garnering 129 tackles, 39 tackles for loss and 19.5 sacks during his three years as an 1st Team ACC All-Star, Calais Campbell was an utter force to be reckoned with.

During the Cardinals’ 2008 run to its...

The big man is back where it all started.

The Arizona Cardinals are bringing back a veteran defensive lineman, one that probably never got away.

We are on the homestretch of the 2025 NFL Draft and for the Arizona Cardinals the question becomes what are the teams biggest needs.

After free agency you and I have our thoughts, but what do the experts at ESPN think?

Matt Miller, Jordan Reid and roving beat reporter Josh Weinfuss weighed in on the Arizona Cardinals biggest needs after the first wave of free agency.

From E$PN:

What the Cardinals need to look for in the 2025 NFL Draft

Stopping the run.

Derrick Harmon’s tackling issues the past 3 seasons:
