caption_attribution_description: English: Bradley Sowell, a player on the National Football League.
context_page_description: Bradley Keith Sowell is an American football tight end who is currently a free agent. A former offensive tackle, he played college football at the University of Mississippi. He signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as undrafted free agent in 2012, and later spent time with the Indianapolis Colts, Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears. He was born in Memphis, Tennessee and raised in nearby Hernando, Mississippi.
context_section_description: On September 1, 2013, the Arizona Cardinals claimed Sowell off of waivers reuniting him with his former interim head coach and offensive coordinator in Indianapolis, Bruce Arians. Sowell began the season as the third right tackle on the depth chart. He then was named backup left tackle to Levi Brown and replaced him when he was ineffective. He ultimately performed well enough to win the starting position and the Cardinals then traded Brown to the Pittsburgh Steelers. On October 5, 2013, Sowell made his first career start at left tackle in a 22–6 victory over the Carolina Panthers.
  He appeared in all 16 of the regular season games on special teams and started the last 12 games of the regular season at left tackle. He struggled throughout his first season in Arizona and was rated 76th out of 76 tackles that qualified by Pro Football Focus.
  The following season, he lost his starting position to newly acquired free-agent Jared Veldheer but was able to appear in all 16 regular season games.
  On February 26, 2015, the Cardinals signed him to a one-year, $760,000 contract. In his last season with the Cardinals, he again played in all 16 regular season contests. Sowell also served as the team's emergency long snapper.
  He finished his career in Arizona with a total of 48 games appearances and 12 starts.
