2015 NFL countdown: 39 days left and Cardinals jersey No. 39

We are down to 39 days remaining until the start of the regular season for the Arizona Cardinals. We also look at jersey No. 39, which has been a very quiet number historically. Only 12 have worn it since 1950.

It is now worn by running back Robert Hughes, a guy Bruce Arians likes. He is a good special teamer, he blocks pretty well and can catch the ball. While he looks the part of a good short yardage back, he was not good in 2014. He was used six times on third or fourth down and two yards or less to go.
