There\u2019s no denying the connection Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and tight end Trey McBride<\/a> have built across the past three seasons.<\/p>\n

As for where they rank among the top pass-catching duos in the league, Pro Football Focus\u2019 Trevor Sikkema has the pairing at No. 17.<\/a><\/p>\n

Murray and McBride are two of the more talented players at their positions in the league. Over the past two seasons, Murray\u2019s 90.0 PFF passing grade when targeting McBride ranks 15th among these pairings, although they have just a 6.3-yard average target depth.<\/p>\n

McBride and Murray are a talented duo, but their production doesn\u2019t jump off the page.<\/p>\n

It was a season to remember for McBride<\/a>, who set career marks in catches (111), receiving yards (1,146), first downs (63) and starts (16). He set a new franchise record for receptions, surpassing his previous mark of 81 in 2023.<\/p>\n

The only thing lacking from the tight end\u2019s 2025? Receiving touchdowns. Despite McBride\u2019s breakout season, he finished with just two receiving scores. He did, however, find pay dirt on a run and fumble recovery.<\/p>\n

The low number of receiving touchdowns did little to deter the Cardinals from rewarding McBride with a massive contract extension this offseason that at the time made him the highest-paid TE in the league.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s about staying consistent for McBride.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe great ones do it all the time and for me, it\u2019s no secret anymore on what they\u2019re going to do,\u201d McBride said on Tuesday. \u201cThey\u2019re going to get me the ball and I just got to continue to make plays when the ball comes to me and continue to grow as a player, a leader on this team and really elevate my teammates around me. \u2026 I just have to continue to be me.\u201d <\/p>\n
