We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals, and that is less than three weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 18 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. 18?
Cardinals players to wear No. 18
No. 18 hopefully becomes an iconic number. It now belongs to second-year receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who Cardinals fans hope can be legendary.
WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (2024-?)
WR A.J. Green (2001-2022)
WR Stephen Williams (2011)
WR Reggie Newhouse (2005)
QB Cliff Stoudt (1986-1988)
P Carl Birdsong (1981-1985)
LB/OL Fred Wallner (1951)
OL/DL George Petrovich (1949-1950)
OL Al Babartsky, OL/RB Lee Mulleneaux (1938)
OL Bernie Hughes (1934-1936)
RB Tony Holm, RB Elmer Schwartz (1932)
OL/WR Bill Springsteen (1928)
OL Walt Ellis (1926-1927)
We hope Harrison can be the best. Birdsong was the best contemporary No. 18, but Keisling is in the Hall of Fame, so that title belongs to him.
Interesting fact: Mulleneaux was from Southern Arizona in Safford. He and his brother Carl both played in the NFL.
