Welcome back to another episode of the Adam Schaefter podcast.

0:12.0

And today we will be joined by the three-time NFL defensive player of the year,

0:18.5

a five-time pro-ball selection, a man that has been dominant at his

position, and one day will be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The new Arizona Cardinals defensive
