Equipment managers are often the unsung heroes of an NFL team. The Cardinals are losing a good one.

Ahlemeier worked 823 games and equipped more than 3,600 players, per Kent Somers.

“Cardinals also announce equipment mgr Mark Ahlemeier is retiring from a 41-year career with the team. He worked 823 games, equipped more than 3,600 players.”
