An insanely physical tackle on an insanely physical runner who had time to gear up for the contact.

Budda got a helmet, forearm and then the recoil to the turf. He was out cold....... Real cold.

We've always compared him to Bob Sanders who had a great but short career because he was just like Budda 100 mph hitting guys all out and it seemed inevitable he'd get hurt. Sanders just kept getting injured ACL, shoulder etc. Budda you just hope he's ok first and then can come back and be himself but maybe not quite so reckless he has to protect himself more.

Cardinals safety Budda Baker gives health update from hospital bed​


“Thank you for all the well wishes and the prayers from everyone,” Baker said. “I appreciate you guys. Everything came out clean. I’m going to make a full recovery, so definitely blessed.

“I’m excited to get out of this hospital and get back to Arizona. I haven’t been able to shower. I stink still. And just ready to get back home and be with my family. Love you guys. Appreciate all y’all always sending love.”

Heal quickly and fully, Budda.
