Last week, in revealing players Nos. 21-30, No. 30 is someone the Cardinals will face in 2025. Player No. 30 is Green Bay Packers safety Xavier McKinney, making his debut in the top 100.<\/p>\n

McKinney himself says he is the best safety in the NFL.<\/p>\n

He was stellar in 2024, with eight interceptions. He was a Pro Bowler and a first-team All-Pro.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals faced McKinney in 2024 and avoided him taking the ball away, but they will face him again in 2025. The Cardinals play the Packers at State Farm Stadium in Week 7.<\/p>\n
