The Los Angeles Rams were the first NFL team for Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback Sam Bradford. Then, the team was in St. Louis, and they selected him first overall in the 2010 draft.
Since he was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015, he has not faced his former team.
That all changes this Sunday when Arizona takes on the Rams on the road. He will make his first start against the team for whom he played five seasons.
Don’t expect him to get too nostalgic. There isn’t anything extra he is feeling for this game facing his former team. “If it would’ve happened sooner, maybe there would be more,” he said, according to Darren Urban of the official team site. “There’s just not a lot of connection that’s still there for me.”
Considering the coaching staff is different, the players are different and they don’t even play in the same state as they did when he was there last, it is understandable. It has been four years since he appeared in a game for the Rams.
