Sixth-round pick Hayden Conner shares what advice he has been given as a new resident in Arizona playing football.

The Arizona Cardinals rookies took the field for the first time on Friday as NFL players. For many of them, it was their first time in Arizona. Offensive lineman Hayden Conner, the Cardinals' sixth-round selection in the 2025 NFL draft, was asked about what advice he got coming to Arizona for the first time.

The Cardinals have had issues with speeding in the past. Linebacker Zaven Collins got hit with a big speeding ticket in Scottsdale. He wasn't a rookie, but receiver Hollywood Brown was driving over 100 mph on the Loop 101 heading into training camp in 2022.

Many players live in the Scottsdale area. Anyone who lives here or has visited here knows just how easy it is to get a speeding ticket and how hard it is to get out of one.

As for the heat, yes, that is a given. Even for a guy like Conner who comes from Texas, where it gets plenty hot, "it's a little different."

As a personal note, Conner also said he has to wear sunscreen all the time. "I'm too pale."

He and the rest of the Cardinals rookies are going to learn a lot. Those might be the two most important things to know when they are off the field heading into their first NFL season.
