With 35 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 35.<\/p>\n
We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the\u00a0Arizona Cardinals<\/a>,\u00a0and we are exactly five weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the\u00a0New Orleans Saints<\/a> on Sept. 7.\u00a0That is 35 days away.<\/p>\n 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n Who has worn No. 35?<\/p>\n Cardinals<\/a> players to wear No. 35<\/p>\n Cornerback Ekow Boye-Doe, a long shot to make the final roster, is the Cardinals<\/a>‘ current No. 35.<\/p>\n CB Ekow Boye-Doe (2025-?)CB Christian Matthew (2022-2023)LB Tahir Whitehead (2021)S Curtis Riley (2020)S Deionte Thompson (2019)S Eddie Pleasant (2018)RB Elijhaa Penny (2017)CB Cariel Brooks (2015)CB Javier Arenas (2013)FB Anthony Sherman (2011-2012)FB Dan Kreider (2009)DB Oliver Celestin (2007-2008)DB Ernest Shazor (2005)DB Dyshod Carter (2004)CB Aeneas Williams (1991-2000)RB Dennis Smith (1990)DB Jeff Griffin (1981-1985)FB Jim Otis (1973-1978)RB Larry Stegent (1971)RB Joe Childress (1956-1965)P Jeff Burkett (1947)QB Walt Masters (1943)WR Dick Evans (1942)OL Tarzan White (1940-1941)OL Mike Kochel (1939)WR Herb Duggins (1934)RB Herb Maple (1930)<\/p>\n Otis was a solid running back for the Cardinals, but this is an easy choice for the best No. 35, and that is Williams, a Hall of Famer. He got a championship with the Rams<\/a> after leaving Arizona, but he was the best cornerback of the 90s not named Deion Sanders, and had he not played for a bad Cardinals team, he might have been seen as Sanders’ equal.<\/p>\n Get more Cardinals<\/a> and NFL coverage from Cards<\/a> Wire’s Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
