First Cardinals jersey that I bought. Love his passion and dedication. Remember watching him on his segway with his half-shirt up in Flagstaff. Like others on the board, I cried with him on the magical superbowl run. Might shed another tear this weekend....

words can't describe how much I love Adrian Wilson.

Great read, great player and an even better leader/person.

Still to this day, my favorite highlight of anything Cards related is watching the single tear drop from Adrian's eye as confetti poured down from above in the aftermath of the NFC Title game. He was all of us that day.

Beyond proud to see him in the Ring Of Honor. No one player deserves it more in the history of the Arizona Cardinals.

That was an incredible piece to read. Thanks for posting it. I will be wearing my A-Dub Super Bowl jersey with more pride than ever this weekend.

What a great read... by a truly great man. I'm with Cheese... I can remember that day so clearly. From my seats, I felt like I could've reached out and hugged A-Dub at that moment.

Sunday is going to be another tear-jerker for sure...

Unable to go to the game this weekend due to my geographical location... but hoping every Cards fan has a no. 24 jersey on in the stands....

Love me some A-dub. I wish I could be there this weekend, but I have a family commitment I can't miss. I'll watch on tape delay, and probably play it a few times over. Haven't changed my avatar since he left, and I doubt I ever will.

Wow, really enjoyed reading that!

You’ll learn firsthand that rebuilding an NFL team from scratch doesn’t happen overnight. You’re going to lose. A lot. It’s going to be hard, so get ready.

There's no doubt - Adrian Wilson was a great football player. But more significant than that - Adrian Wilson IS a man of great character!

:cards: ~ :newcards:

Love and Respect to you A-Dub!

The only jersey I have ever bought with someone else's name on it.

Bought it during his last season here, and to be honest, in a selfish way, I am happy he never played an official season game with any other team.

Favorite NFL player, and while what he did on the field brought my attention to him, it is the off the field actions of the man that I respect.

Oh, and please, please, please if there is anyone that is going to the game, and can get a few pictures of his ceremony and post them here it would be very much appreciated.

I wonder if it will be on the broadcast? I imagine it'll be better on broadcast too. You can never hear people when they are talking down there. Adubs voice will be extra hard to hear
