Arizona Cardinals linebacker Mack Wilson has a goal in mind for the team. Yes, he wants to win, but he believes that is easier to do under certain conditions.
He wants a close-knit group of players. He has made it a goal of his since signing last offseason to be a part of doing that.

“Honestly, I feel like the closest teams are the best teams,” Wilson said via AZCardinals.com. “I think of my three years at Alabama (in college), how close we were and how we were able to build that camaraderie. That was my mission when I got here last year, ‘What can I do to bring this team closer, what can I do to be an asset to the locker room?’
“I think I’ve been doing a good job of that in any way I can.”
On Saturday, Wilson hosted a charity basketball game. Many current and former Cardinals teammates participated.
Among the Cardinals players participating were receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., tight end Trey McBride, safety Rabbit Taylor-Demerson, cornerback Jaden Davis, running back James Conner, receiver Quez Watkins, linebacker Milo Eifler and cornerback Darren Hall.

Former Cardinal Jesse Luketa also was there.
“I am just appreciative of them supporting me,” Wilson said. “Me going into just my second year here, that means a lot.”
