The Arizona Cardinals are one of three undefeated teams remaining in the NFL. Though he was inactive over the weekend due to a hamstring injury, defensive lineman Darnell Dockett is a big reason why.

The Cardinals defense has emerged as one of the league's best, ranking fifth in points against through four games.

Dockett, a versatile 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive lineman, is in his ninth year in the NFL but has been a force up front dating back to his days at Paint Branch (Burtonsville, Md.).

Watch Dockett do his best Bobby Boucher impersonation in this week's Way Back When.
