The NFL continues to reveal players in the yearly offseason “NFL Top 100.” Three Arizona Cardinals players made the list, with linebacker Josh Sweat at No. 95, tight end Trey McBride at No. 65 and safety Budda Baker at No. 34, making the list for the sixth straight year.
Several players the Cardinals will face in 2025 continue to be revealed.

This past week, players Nos. 11-20 were announced. Player No. 14 is Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson. He was No. 77 in 2024.
New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston called Hendrickson a “silent assassin” because he quietly puts up sack numbers, even when he played for the New Orleans Saints and was teammates with the heralded Cam Jordan.
Baltimore Ravens tackle Ronnie Stanley said that Hendrickson is “a great, elite power rusher.”
“I think he’s the best technical power rusher in the game,” Stanley said.
He has made the Pro Bowl four straight years and was a first-team All-Pro for the first time in 2024. He had a league–leading 17.5 sacks, his second consecutive year with that total.

He has faced the Cardinals twice in his career and has 2.5 sacks in those two games.
The Cardinals play the Bengals in Cincinnati in Week 17. Hendrickson will be a major test for Cardinals left tackle Paris Johnson.
