“Can we said Oldcomer? Might have been Walt Nolen had the rookie been healthy, but instead the 39-year-old came home and got 6.5 sacks and was a Hall of Fame locker room guy.” – Darren Urban, Director, Editorial Content/Senior Writer
“Doesn’t just play football. Anchors the defense, bosses the locker room, and looks good talking to the media. He’s basically the adult supervision every team needs.” – Luis Hernandez, Spanish Radio Play-by-Play
“Campbell’s drive and joy in coming to work each day in Year 18 was an example for all to follow. Even though his snaps were limited, he was able to still make an impact in games with dramatic plays like sacks and blocked kicks.” – Jody Ackerley, Cardinals radio analyst
“Despite getting ‘chipped into oblivion’ (his words), Sweat consistently forced QB’s into a cold sweat as a premiere pass rusher.” – Paul Calvisi, Reporter/Host
“Only pass rush production most of year. Phenomenal addition. provided pass rush where there was none before he got here.” – A.Q. Shipley, Cardinals analyst
“Josh Sweat had a somewhat sneaky good year, although the stats aren’t quiet at all: a career-high 12.0 sacks, 13 tackles for loss and 17 quarterback hits, all team-highs. Sweat was a major upgrade to the pass rush and if the defense can generate pressure at a higher rate elsewhere, that sets him up for even more impact. Plus, something tells me that Sweat’s frustration about being a Pro Bowl alternate will fuel him for another powerful season.” – Dani Sureck, Reporter/Producer
