Former Arizona Cardinals safety Kwamie Lassiter turned in a fantastic performance for the team’s defensive unit back in 2001

Over a quarter of a century ago, the Arizona Cardinals signed a little-known safety who went unselected during the 1995 NFL Draft.

Kwamie Lassiter, a 25-year-old out of the University of Kansas, went on to give the organization more than they could’ve imagined over the next eight years. The defensive back’s 2001 campaign, in particular, would go down as one of the greatest seasons ever recorded by an NFL safety.
