48 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 48?
We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals and are less than seven weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 48 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. 48?
Cardinals players to wear No. 48
No. 48 is currently unused. It has been a fairly non-impactful number in the Cardinals' history. The player to wear it the longest was a long snapper.
Washington had the best seasons with 13 combined interceptions in 1983-1984.

Darren Sproles' statement-making punt return TD is the Saints Play of Day 43
We are now only 43 days away from the New Orleans Saints' season opener in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, which makes Darren Sproles' (who wore No. 43, of course) punt return touchdown our Saints Play of the Day. Despite happening in a loss, this was a phenomenal showing for Sproles, who had 7 receptions for 75 yards, 2 kick returns for 76 yards, and 2 punt returns for 92 yards with the touchdown in his Saints debut. This Week 1 matchup was a battle of the offenses, as the score ended up being 42-34 in this shootout between Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers. At the time of the play the Saints were down 21-10, with 8:55 left in the half. The punt ended up traveling 52 yards, down to the New Orleans 28-yard line, where Sproles received it and took off to blow by every Green Bay Packers defender on his way to the end zone. A 72-yard punt return touchdown in his Saints debut was certainly one way to endear himself to fans. Despite this game ending with a loss, the Saints had a chance because of this play before halftime by Sproles, and he was able to show off his prowess in returning both punts and kicks for New Orleans over the course of the next three years. While this was his only return touchdown for the Saints, he did have 70 kick returns for 1,827 yards, and a long return of 92 yards during those three seasons. He was a special player and big plays like this have done a lot to maintain a strong reputation among Saints fans ever since.
