Cardinals Stars Shine in NFL Top 100 Rankings

The NFL's highly anticipated Top 100 player list, voted on by the league's athletes, is currently being released. Two players are unveiled each weekday. As of Thursday, July 16, 2026, 37 players have been revealed since the countdown began on June 22, 2026. The Arizona Cardinals are represented, with defensive end Josh Sweat ranked No. 78. This marks a 17-spot increase from the previous year, attributed to his career-high 12 sacks last season.

Safety Budda Baker is the second Cardinal to be named, coming in at No. 75. This is Baker's seventh consecutive year appearing on the prestigious Top 100 list. Attention is now turning to tight end Trey McBride, who has not yet been ranked. Based on his improved performance last season, including a notable increase in touchdowns, McBride is widely expected to achieve a ranking within the Top 60, potentially surpassing his No. 65 placement from the year prior.
