Some Cardinals players, like many of us, don’t normally answer calls from blocked numbers, but Tuesday was different for some of them.
Team President Michael Bidwill called four Cardinals – safety Budda Baker, receiver Larry Fitzgerald, cornerback Patrick Peterson and outside linebacker Chandler Jones -– to tell them they had been selected to the Pro Bowl.
“(Bidwill) said he was going to text me so I could get his number, but he never texted me,” Baker said, smiling.
Baker, a rookie, made the Pro Bowl as a special teams player. He has 15 tackles on special teams, third most in the NFL.
