With 59 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 59.
We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals and are less than nine weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 59 days away.
As we count down the remaining days of the offseason, let’s look at who has worn that number uniform over the years for the Cardinals.
Who has worn No. 59?
Cardinals players to wear No. 59
Offensive lineman Jon Gaines has No. 59 and enters his third season with it.
OL Jon Gaines (2023-?)LB Nick Vigil (2022)LB Joe Walker (2018-2019, 2021)LB De’Vondre Campbell (2020)LB Alani Fua (2015-2016)LB Marcus Benard (2013-2014)LB Vic So’oto (2013)LB Zach Nash (2012)DE Will Davis (2009-2010)LB Brandon Johnson (2006-2007)LB Eric Johnson (2005)LB Leon Joe (2004)LB Rob Fredrickson (1999-2002)LB Seth Joyner (1994-1996)OL Ed Cunningham (1992-1993)LB David Bavaro (1990)LB Tyrone Jones (1988)LB Phil Forney (1987)LB Ron Monaco (1986)LB Tom Howard (1984-1985)LB Paul Davis (1983)LB Calvin Favron (1979-1982)LB Randy Gill, LB Curtis Townsend (1978)LB Marv Kellum (1977)LB Carl Gersbach (1976)LB Pete Barnes (1973-1975)LB Jeff Lyman (1972)LB Ernie Clark (1968)
As you can probably tell, No. 59 has not been a highly impactful number. Fua was a nice special teams player for a couple of seasons. The two players who were the best with the number were Joyner and Fredrickson.
