My step mom ran into these guys and took a photo, now she’s curious who they are. Naturally, she asked me as a diehard cards fan, but I actually have no idea lol. Help me out...

How old is this pic?

I went through the team roster and neither of these guys matched any current player.

I think the guy on the right is Brandon Keith.

He coaches now.

Yeah the guy on the right in Brandon Kieth. No idea why he's in a Cards shirt as he's not officially on the staff. Off season intern maybe?

Guy on the left look like OL too but face doesn't ring a bell.

Ben Patrick is a security guard at Marcos De Niza High School or was.

Might be a Cardinals alumni thing.

We have had events (very small, like with high schools, community orgs) where the Cardinals are involved and it has been typically former players that are not well known that have made the appearances. I am assuming it is a mutually beneficial thing for both the Cards and these players to stay involved beyond their playing days.

Many years ago the Cardinals held their training camp in Prescott because the norovirus was spreading throughout the NAU campus where they traditionally practiced. I think this was back in 2005 before they built the stadium in Glendale.

Anyway, my friend and I drove up to Prescott to watch the Cardinals practice wearing our football jerseys. We were both big burly guys back then and went to get lunch afterwards. Our server at the restaurant thought that we were on the team! LOL. She was star struck thinking that she had met actual NFL players! hahaha

We played along and said that we were hoping to make the final 52 man roster. Fingers crossed! I think I had a Dockett jersey on (I'm white, btw) and my friend had a Redskins jersey on! hahaha. And we were both in our early 30's, so...

Oviously our waitress wasn't a huge NFL fan. But it was strange to see how some people act when they think they are with someone (kinda?) famous.
