My nominations are:

Offense:

LaRod Stephens-Howling. The young man who cried when the Cardinals drafted him in the 7th round---and this year, despite all the woes on offense, he ran and scraped for every inch that his small frame but huge heart could muster.

Defense:

Daryl Washington. Game in and game out he was bringing the special kind of energy and passion that special players with prodigious hearts bring.

Special Teams:

Justin Bethel. This guy is relentless and about as sudden a playmaker on special teams as we have even seen in Arizona. It takes tremendous courage, desire and heart to play special teams---and this young man brings all of that and more.

Happy Valentine's Day, to ASFN and Arizona Cardinal fans across the globe. :newcards:

LaRod for sure and though this year might be his last, Adrian Wilson for that very reason needs a lot of luv his way on how he has always given his all because he luvs the Cardinals. And people can say all they want about his height but Mike Adams has ALWAYS given his all :)

I know Kolb won't get any love, so I'll give it to him by giving him my vote. If we're talking about heart, Kolb showed more than just about anyone on the team in my opinion. Only QB to take a worse beating in my opinion was Aaron Rodgers. From getting benched to coming back in to win the Seattle game, to having his toughness questioned in preseason, to all the rest of it--this guy kept getting up until he couldn't anymore. Injury-prone, perhaps. But you can't question his heart.

lol I just posted in another thread about Mike Adams. Talk about a guy who is all heart and always plays better than you'd think his physical limitations would allow.

Maybe we should call him Mikey Valentine.

I agree, and on another note Paris Lenon has that McKinnon factor going and always plays tough despite his limitations

I like these picks. I would also throw in Campbell.
