Evan Mathis has lived in Arizona for more than a decade, but given that the veteran guard had never played for the Cardinals, he still needed a tour of the facility Thursday morning after officially signing his one-year contract with the team.
The duty fell to scout Adrian Wilson, who just happens to have been a friend of Mathis for just about the same amount of time.
“I’ve known him since he was a young pup,” Wilson said, noting the two have trained together since Mathis was coming out of Alabama in 2005 and Wilson was a four-year NFL veteran.
