A summer of transformation for Tony Jefferson

Not every significant change in life can be traced to a single "aha!" moment when the clouds parted and a brightly lit path to clarity was revealed.

Often, it takes a handful of moments and experiences to reach that destination.

So it was with the Cardinals’ Tony Jefferson’s transformation this season from being a good, dependable player into one of the better safeties in the NFL.

Maybe it was a result of the Cardinals offering a low tender to Jefferson, a restricted free agent last offseason.

Maybe it was a lack of interest from other teams.
