Arizona Cardinals' running back James Conner is determined to challenge the perception that a team's record defines its true potential. Despite the Cardinals finishing 4-13 for two consecutive seasons, Conner firmly believes that the team has the talent and coaching needed to turn their fortunes around.

Conner, who recorded an impressive career-high of 1,040 rushing yards last season despite missing four games, is eager to build on his success as he enters a crucial contract year. While expressing his desire to finish his career with the Cardinals, Conner acknowledges the unpredictable nature of the business side of the NFL.

In an interview, Conner expressed his commitment to making a positive impact on the team's performance. "I want to turn things around out here. We have a great football team, we're coached really well, so we want that to reflect on our record and our play. I want to speak up," Conner stated.

The running back's determination to help improve the Cardinals' record stems from both his personal goals and the well-being of the team. Conner understands that the success of the team serves as a pathway to a fruitful future for him. Meeting these expectations in his contract year would undoubtedly be beneficial for his career prospects.

Reflecting on his approach heading into the last year of his deal, Conner stated, "If anything, it's time to turn it up even more going into the last year of my deal. I'm thankful I got to see the last year of it, so I'll go into it with everything I got. We'll see what happens next year, hopefully stay, but I understand it's a business."

By attaining success on the field and contributing significantly to the team's turnaround, Conner hopes to solidify his future with the Cardinals. His strong performance and dedication to the team's success will certainly contribute to the overall motivation and drive within the Cardinals' roster.

With an impressive career behind him and an unwavering determination to challenge the perception of the team's record, James Conner is set to be a key player in the Cardinals' quest for success in the upcoming season. Only time will tell whether his efforts will be enough to bring about the desired change, but his commitment to the task at hand is unwavering.
