Cardinals HC Bruce Arians said that QBs coach Byron Leftwich could quickly become an NFL head coaching candidate.
“He’ll be a head coach early and fast,” Arians said, via Darren Urban of the Cardinals’ official website.
Leftwich mentioned that he approached his playing career from a coaches standpoint and thinks Arians has valued his experience.
“I played the game as if I was a coach,” Leftwich said. “I never really had the physical ability to run around. I could throw the ball, but I had to think my way through the whole time.
