There have been plenty of running backs taken in the first round of the NFL draft over the history of the league. That’s an easy declaration.

There are fewer who have been named to the NFL All-Rookie Team. And that percentage gets even smaller for a rookie running back who has made the Pro Bowl.

The list is minuscule when you seek out how many rookie RBs also become the league MVP in their first season. Let’s see, Jim Brown of the Cleveland Browns in 1957, and….. Yeah, pretty exclusive club.

For every Barry Sanders,...

For seven consecutive years the Arizona Cardinals have had a player on the NFL Top 100 list. Sure, some years they have had more, but for seven years you could count on Budda Baker to be on that list.

While Baker is down about 40 spots, his presence on the list, and on the field for the Arizona Cardinals has been a key presence that has allowed them to have some semblance of talent.

For the Cardinals, Baker has been a captain and mainstay on the field for a defense that has desperately needed someone to join him as a...

Everyone in the NFL knows that to have a good running game, you have to possess capable tight ends to help extend the offensive line. And if he is a good blocker and can lead the team in catches, that is a huge bonus.

Such is the life of Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride.

It’s really weird how little media attention McBride gets, despite being in the same category of greatness as Travis Kelce and George Kittle. This past season, McBride had 169 targets, 126 catches for 1,239 yards with a...

The National Football League has a design structure. There is literally something going on every month of the year. No down time. This is by design so that fans will become engaged at all times.

No off-season for each team’s fanbase. July has the beginning of each club’s training camp, but that doesn’t happen until the final week. So, the league puts out its 2026 NFL Top 100 list.

This is a legitimate concern and question this year, as Sweat put up a...

Some believe the Arizona Cardinals’ helmet is one of the cleanest-looking in the league. Others have stated that it is boring and mundane.

Does it mean their helmets have to remain this way?

It’s a Cardinal bird head on a solid white helmet. No striping, no graphics, no checkered pattern as a backdrop or portions of the Arizona state flag.

It is a day in July before the start of the 2026 training camp, so we are getting rankings, and for the Cardinals most rankings have not been overly kind.

While they have the sixth best set of offensive weapons in the NFL according to ESPN, they have more questions than answers everywhere else.

ESPN dropped their best roster rankings and the Cardinals were not last… which is a nice change of pace, but they were the third worst (at least tied for that) and it is once again a question of every position group outside of a couple.

Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated has made a living out of discussing issues within the NFL. Recently on his podcast, The Breer Report,“ he talked about QB Brendan Sorsby, the AFC picture this year, and Arizona Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison, Jr.

Breer was sent a tweet asking:

“Why has Marvin Harrison, Jr., once heralded as the best WR of this era of Ohio State WR’s, been the worst one of Ohio State’s first round picks?”

The Arizona Cardinals have done quite a bit with the offensive side of the ball this offseason. The main new component is head coach Mike LaFleur, the former OC of the Los Angeles Rams.

New receivers, new offensive linemen, new quarterbacks, new tight ends, new long snapper, new running backs, and a new OC.

ESPN was very nice the other day to the Arizona Cardinals, ranking their offensive weapons as the sixth best in the NFL.

Yet, on Tuesday they brought a different take from ESPN and that is that they had the worst offseason of any team in the NFL.

From ESPN:

Arizona Cardinals: D

Biggest move: Releasing QB Kyler Murray
Move I liked: Signing G Isaac Seumalo
Move I disliked: Drafting RB Jeremiyah Love at No. 3

It is an interesting grade, but it makes some sense in a couple of way:

1. The team has...
