With seven days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 7.
We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals, and that is exactly one week away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is seven 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. 7?
Cardinals players to wear No. 7
Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, in his first year with the team, now wears No. 7
QB Jacoby Brissett (2025)LB Kyzir White (2023-2024)CB Byron Murphy (2021-2022)QB Brett Hundley (2019-2020)QB Mike Glennon (2018)QB Blaine Gabbert (2017)K Chandler Catanzaro (2014-2016)QB Matt Leinart (2006-2009)K Bill Gramatica (2001-2003)QB Boomer Esiason (1996)QB Steve Beuerlein (1993-1994)QB Craig Kupp (1991)QB Jim Hart (1966)DB Bobby Towns (1960)QB Ted Marchibroda (1957)QB David Leggett (1955)DB Elmer Arterburn (1954)QB Ray Nagel (1953)RB Elmer Angsman (1946-1952)RB Johnny Hall (1943)OL Ross Nagel (1942)WR Billy Dewell, WR Pop Ivy, RB/DB Ray Johnson (1940)OL Phil Handler (1930)OL Duke Slater (1929)FB Ducky Grant (1928)RB Red Strader (1927)OL Tom Hogan (1926)WR Dick Egan (1920-1923)
There have not been super impact players at No. 7. Murphy was solid. They have had backup quarterbacks and a couple of short-term starters. Leinart was supposed to be the answer at quarterback.
But Slater is a Hall of Famer and Angsman was great in his time.
