The NFL began its third week of revealing players in the “NFL Top 100” on Monday, beginning the week with two players the Arizona Cardinals will face in 2025.
Player No. 80 is Green Bay Packers pass rusher Rashan Gary, who was No. 50 last year. The former first-round pick enters his seventh season and made the Pro Bowl in 2024 for the first time in his career. In six seasons, he has 39 career sacks. Last season, he had 7.5.
New York Giants running back Dante Miller described Gary as “a nasty player” and spoke how he hits when he makes tackles. “You can feel it every time,” he said.

Two of Gary’s sacks last season came against two of the best tackles in the league — Detroit’s Penei Sewell and Philadalphia’s Lane Johnson.
The Cardinals play the Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 7 in 2025. Last season, they held their own against Gary, holding him to simply three tackles and one quarterback hit.
