The trailer for the much-anticipated All or Nothing documentary series on the Cardinals was released Monday, which may have inspired safety Tyrann Mathieu to make a Snapchat behind-the-scenes film of his own:

Meanwhile, a Cardinals edition of the Captain America shield was the centerpiece of a ‘dream team’ that included safety Tony Jefferson, cornerback Justin Bethel and wide receiver Jaron Brown.
