We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals, and we are less than six weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 36 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.

The Cardinals have had a few solid players with No. 36. Budda Baker is probably the best but is known more for No. 3 now. Sikahema was very good and grew up in Mesa, Arizona. Lane was a good running back and Reaves was also good.
And more recent Cardinals fans will remember how fun a player Stephens-Howling was.
