The Arizona Cardinals may have a tough road ahead of them in 2013, drawing a daunting schedule next season. But that hasn’t deterred one player’s belief that this team could surprise a lot of people.

Defensive end Calais Campbell, a guest on NFL Network, discussed the Cardinals’ challenging opponents for the 2013 season and explained why he feels they can answer the call.

“We got a new coaching staff in there that I think everybody loves so far,” Campbell said. “Bruce Arians is just a great coach — his motivation, his swagger, the way he talks to us — everyone loves playing for him already.”

Campbell also believes the Cardinals will showcase their talents on a primetime stage against the Seahawks in Week 7.

“It’ll be a good chance for us to show the world how good we are against a team that is well-respected,” Campbell said. “I think we are going to surprise.”

NFL Network’s Heath Evans has also come out and said he thinks the Cardinals are a sleeper team in the NFC West this season.
