Loved this quote from Cardinals GM Rod Graves, who "drafted Pro Bowlers Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Adrian Wilson and Darnell Dockett, then tapped dynamic rookie cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and running back Tim Hightower in last April's draft."Graves' late father, Jackie, was a "highly-respected, longtime NFL scout and former player personnel executive with the Philadelphia Eagles until his 1989 death."
"I think about the character my parents gave me," says Graves, who was a scout for the Bears in 1985 when they won Super Bowl XX and would work his way up to become CHI's director of player personnel. "If you have a situation where you feel like you have one hand tied behind your back, you fight like hell with the free arm. That's really been the nature of my approach: 'We're going to fight like hell with the free arm to get to where we are.'"
