Cardinals
Cardinals’ veteran OL Justin Pugh said he must continue to prove he’s still capable of playing well.
“Everyone in this building knows who I am as a player and my work ethic and leadership and what I bring,” Pugh said. “But you have to go out and prove it. It’s a business. I realize that side of things as well. You have to produce or you might be looking for a job.”
Pugh doesn’t feel there is more pressure for him to perform because he has always pushed himself to produce.
“But there’s no more pressure, because even when I wasn’t getting paid as much, I still wanted to produce because I wanted to have a job. That doesn’t play into it at all. I know who I am as a player and how I stack up in the league.”
