Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera:“I’m fi red up for Steve. Steve and I have been fortunate to work together at three diff erent stops, and at all three stops we’ve had a tremendous amount of success, and Steve’s been a big part of the success we’ve had. I believe he’s going to do the same thing in Arizona because of the type of person he is. High character, high moral values, tremendous football person, and a great leader. I think Steve will fi t very nicely into their culture. I think he’ll help build this team into a perennial winner."

Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly:“Coach Wilks brings an energy to the room. He takes pride in ge ng to know his players on a per-sonal level and I think that helps him be a great leader and mo vator. He's a great coach and we will miss having him around, but I think he is going to do a great job for the Cardinals.”New Orleans safety Kurt Coleman:“I think nothing but the best of Coach Wilks. Steve brought me in three years ago, and not only has he changed my life as a player, he’s changed my life as a man, and he’s changed my family’s life. I couldn’t be more ecsta c for him. This is a great opportunity for him, and he’s been wai ng for this for a long me. He’s been working very hard and diligently for this right opportunity, and there’s going to be nothing but success for him.”

Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman:“I will say this, he is what you see in me today. I know what he brings to the table. I know what they’re ge ng. He’s pre y much me in a nutshell. At the end of the day, I came from pre y much nothing to rise up to where I’m at today and he was the catalyst behind that. Posi on coach all the way up to the ranks of a D-coordinator for a year, and then making it now to a head coaching job; it’s crazy how that trend came for him. The conversa ons we have are just so enlightening. He’s a leader of men and that’s what it all boils down to. I wish him all the best.”

Bal more Ravens safety Eric Weddle:“Coach Wilks was meant to be a head coach. He is a leader of men, loyal and honest. One of the best coaches I've ever had and even a be er man.”

Former All-Pro cornerback Charles Tillman:“Coach Wilks is a man of many talents and coaching men and teaching the game of football is one of them. I’ve been blessed to go to two Super Bowls and it’s not a coin-cidence that Wilks was right there with me. To be a head coach in the NFL you have to have the “IT” factor and Wilks defi nitely has it. When Sunday comes around this fall, his team will be ready to hunt.”

Former All-Pro cornerback Antonio Cromar e:“I loved him. No ma er what is going on, you are going to get the same guy. You need that in a head coach. He’s a great guy to be around. He has a great sense of humor. He makes everything fun.”

Chicago Bears Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher:“Coach Wilks was a very detailed coach. I remember our defensive backs always knew exactly what they were do-ing on every play. There was never any doubt what every-one's job was. He was fun to be around at prac ce and away from the football fi eld as well. He was a guy you could go to with anything football related or personal. I’m very excited for him in his new role as head coach of the Cardinals.”

Former college head coach Tyrone Willingham“From the fi rst me I met Steve, it was very evident that he had the demeanor, understanding and integrity to not only be an outstanding coach but, more importantly to me, an outstanding person. He possesses that wonderful combina on of maturity, eagerness, determina on and leadership to be a champion in all areas of work and life. I applaud the Cardinals for their selec on.”

Rosen entered training camp in 2018 in a ba le with veteran Mike Glennon for the backup role be-hind starter Sam Bradford. Rosen has impressed the veteran Bradford during their me together since the team. “He's a good kid,” Bradford said of Rosen. “He's eager to learn, he wants to learn. He wants to be great. I think he's got the right a tude and the right mindset for this posi on and this league. I'm going to con nue to do everything I can to help and make him the player that he's capable of being.”Rosen Highlights:• Joins Hall of Famer Troy Aikman (1st overall to Dallas in 1989) as the only UCLA QBs ever selected in the top-10 of the NFL Dra .• Rosen, Baker Mayfi eld (1st overall to Browns), Sam Darnold (3rd overall to Jets), Josh Allen (7th overall to Bills) and Lamar Jackson (32nd overall to Ra-vens) were the fi ve QBs selected in the fi rst round in 2018.

PROVEN PAIR OF B IG PLAY THREATS

During the off season, the Cardinals signed speedy WR Brice Butler as a free agent. A big-play threat during his fi rst fi ve NFL seasons with Oakland and Dallas - Butler joins Cardinals fourth year vet J.J. Nelson as a pair of WRs who have the proven ability to make plays down the fi eld. J.J. NELSONNow entering his fourth NFL season, Nelson - the fastest player at the 2015 NFL Combine (4.28 seconds in 40-yard dash) - made numerous big plays during his fi rst three seasons with the Cardinals. In that me, he recorded 74 recep ons for 1,375 yards with Arizona. Da ng back to the beginning of his rookie season in 2015, his average of 18.6 yards per recep on is the highest in the NFL (min. 60 re-cep ons).

His 80-yard TD catch at Sea le in Week 16 of the 2016 season remains the longest TD recep on ever by a Seahawks opponent at CenturyLink Field (which opened in 2002).• Has seven career recep ons of 40+ yards. • In Week 14 of the ’16 season at Miami, had a 56-yard TD run and an eight-yard TD catch, becoming the fi rst Cards WR since Mal Kutner (10/24/48 vs. Boston) with a rushing and receiving TD in the same game.• Caught fi ve passes for 120 yards (24.0 avg.) and a TD in an OT victory over the Colts in Week 2. That performance earned Nelson NFC Off ensive Player of the Week honors for the fi rst me in his career. BRICE BUTLERNow entering his sixth season in the NFL, Butler was a seventh round selec on (209th overall) by the Oak-land Raiders in the 2013 NFL Dra . He spent two seasons in Oakland before being traded to Dallas in 2015, where he played three seasons (2015-17). Butler has 73 recep ons for 1,177 yards and eight TDs in his NFL career, with fi ve of his eight TD recep- ons covering 20+ yards.

• Has twice averaged over 21.0 yards per recep on in a season, averaging 21.5 yards per catch in 2015 (12 rec. for 258 yards) and 21.1 yards per catch in 2017 (15 rec. for 317 yards).• Of his 15 recep ons in 2017, seven covered at least 20 yards and six cov-ered 30+ yards. Had catches of 53 yards and 37 yards in the fourth quarter vs. Arizona on MNF last season.

COLE M AN OVERCOM ES

Losing his hearing at age three has never stopped Cardinals FB Derrick Coleman. It didn't stop him from playing football in middle school and it didn't slow him in high school - where he rushed for 5,214 yards and 86 TDs while breaking school single-season records for TDs (38), points (232) and rushing yards (2,456).Coleman next conquered the collegiate level, where he led UCLA with 11 rushing TDs as a senior in 2011 while proving a standout performer on special teams. Not being selected in the NFL Dra didn't slow him either, as he signed a rookie free agent contract with Vikings in 2012. He went on to make the Seahawks roster in 2013 - becoming the fi rst legally deaf off ensive player in NFL history while playing a big part on the Seahawks Super Bowl XLVIII cham-pionship team that season. Now entering his fi h NFL season, Coleman has 35 career special teams tackles, including seven in seven postseason games. Playing with Atlanta in 2017, Coleman ranked third among NFL players with 16 special teams tackles. In his four NFL seasons, Coleman has also served as a lead blocker for three 2,000-yard rushing teams and two individual 1,000-yard rushing seasons (Marshawn Lynch in 2013-14).

KE EP AN EYE ON EDMONDS

One of the rookies that has made an impression so far in training camp is rookie RB Chase Edmonds - the Cardinals fourth round selec on (134th overall) in the 2018 NFL Dra . Figh ng for reps in a crowded running backs room fi lled with veterans such as All-Pro David Johnson, D.J. Foster and T.J. Logan - Edmonds has impressed head coach Steve Wilks. "The one thing with Chase, (he has) great pa ence," Wilks said. "He’s just re-ally savvy, just really allowing his blocks to set up, and he has tremendous speed once he gets to the second level." Edmonds success thus far in camp isn't a complete surprise, as he le col-lege as one of the most accomplished players in Patriot League and FCS history. Coming out of Fordham, Edmonds:• Was a three- me consensus All-American (2014-16) who closed out his career as the Patriot League all- me leading rusher (5,862 yards) and graduated as the Patriot League all- me leader in career TDs (74) and rushing TDs (67).• Amassed 7,374 career all-purpose yards, a school and Patriot League career record which also ranks 10th in NCAA FCS history.• Scored a career-high 31 rushing TDs which ranked second in the FBS during his freshman season.

OFFSEASON REVAMP OF THE OFFENSIVE L INE

BACK FROM INJURY

Three of Arizona's Week 1 starters on the of-fensive line did not fi nish the 2017 season due to injury. The le side of the line returns at full strength in 2018 a er Pro Bowl LG Mike Iupa (triceps) and star ng LT D.J. Humphries (Knee) missed a combined 26 games last year.

• In games that Humphries started and fi nished last season, the Cardinals averaged 117.3 rush-ing yards (79.5 rushing ypg without him).

• Before missing 15 games last season, Iupa was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2016 and earned four-consecu ve Pro Bowl invites from 2012-15.

FREE AGENT ADDITIONS

The Cardinals added a pair of veteran off ensive lineman during the free agent signing period in March. Former fi rst-round dra picks Jus n Pugh (19th overall in 2013) and Andre Smith (sixth overall in 2009) joined Arizona from the Giants and Bengals, respec vely.

• Pugh signed a fi ve-year deal with the Cardinals on March 17. The Syracuse product started all 63 games in which he appeared for the Giants.

• Smith joined the team on a two-year contact on March 16 a er nine seasons with the Bengals (2009-15, '17) and Vikings (2016).

BUILDING THROUGH THE DRAFTFour projected starters on the off ensive line are former fi rst-round dra picks – Andre Smith (sixth in 2009), Mike Iupa (17th in 2010), Jus n Pugh (19th in 2013) and D.J. Humphries (24th in 2015).

Arizona invested two of its seven 2018 dra picks on the off ensive line – C Mason Cole (Michigan, third round, 97th overall) and T Korey Cunning-ham (Cincinna , seventh round, 254th overall).

At Michigan, Cole made 51 consecu ve starts along the off ensive line, se ng a school record for an off ensive lineman and tying the overall re-cord for a Wolverine player.

Rookie S Budda Baker - the team's 2nd round selec on (36th overall) in the 2017 NFL Dra - made quite the impression during his debut season with the Cardinals. The University of Washington alum was named fi rst-team All-Pro and was selected to Pro Bowl for his work on special teams. He also fi nished the season as a start-er at safety alongside Tyrann Mathieu. Baker enters the 2018 season expected to play big role on defense - meaning his me on the special teams units will be limited. Not that he hasn't tried to get onto the fi eld during training camp. “I tried to get out there one me and they told me to get out of here," Baker said of trying to sneak in a few special teams reps. In 16 games (7 starts), Baker totaled 61 tackles, three tackles for loss, a sack, six passes defensed, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and two QB hits on de-fense. He added a team-high 16 tackles on special teams. His 16 special teams tackles ed for third in the NFL.

BUDDA'S EXPANDED ROLE IN 2018

The Cardinals fi rst round selec on (27th overall) in the 2014 NFL Dra , Deone Bucannon was chosen as a safety but the previous coaching regime created an en rely new posi on for the hybrid defender - the dollar linebacker. He will con nue in that role under new coaching staff . Bucannon has thrived at the posi on, leading the team in tackles in both 2015 and 2016. In 2017 he recorded 90 tackles despite missing four games due to an ankle injury.
