A former Arizona Cardinals player is excited about the opportunity to play with his new team, the New England Patriots.
And evidently happy to be away from his former team — the team that drafted him in the fourth round in 2021.
Cornerback Marco Wilson appeared to take some shots at the Cardinals during an interview with reporters at Patriots camp earlier this week.
“I feel like this is a real start to my real NFL journey,” Wilson told reporters. ” I feel like I’m finally on a team that takes things seriously, you know, inside the building and off the field.”
Wilson wasn’t done, saying that he felt like he was now a “professional” football player.
“I finally feel like I’m really coming to work day in and day out, like it’s real serious work and I really appreciate that aspect because, I mean, I am in the NFL,” he said. “I am a professional now and I really feel like it.”
The Cardinals released Wilson on Dec. 26 last season, and the Patriots quickly claimed the former University of Florida standout the next day.
He recorded 159 combined tackles during his time with the Cardinals, playing in 43 games over three seasons, recording three interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown.
He had one assisted tackle in one game with the Patriots last season after being picked up by New England.
