Arizona Cardinals Year 2 player outlook: S Rabbit Taylor-Demerson A look 2024 at fourth-round pick Rabbit Taylor-Demerson and his second-year outlook in 2025.
The Arizona Cardinals drafted 12 players in 2024. Some of them had contributions as rookies. Some will have greater roles in 2025. Others will have to battle for the roster.
They selected safety Dadrion "Rabbit" Taylor-Demerson in the fourth round with the 104th overall pick.
Entering Year 2 in the NFL, let's have a look at his 2025 outlook.
S Rabbit Taylor-Demerson's 2024 season
Taylor-Demerson got play a bit on defense and a lot on special teams as a rookie.
On special teams, he logged 286 total snaps. He had two total special teams tackles.
On defense, he was the first in at safety to spell or replace Budda Baker or Jalen Thompson, and he played as the sixth defensive back in dime packages. He had 37 total tackles, including three for loss, a forced fumble and was tied for third on the team with five pass breakups.
Rabbit Taylor-Demerson's Year 2 outlook for 2025
If nothing else happens with the roster ahead of him with Baker or Thompson, Taylor-Demerson figures to be in the same role as last season, the backup at both safety spots, the dime back and a heavy special teams contributor.
That's a solid role to have in Year 2. If things progress as they should, he should be primed to enter into a starting role in 2026 with Thompson entering the final year of his contract.

White Sox get clobbered by Cardinals in 6th straight loss
Brendan Donovan had four hits and Iván Herrera drove in four runs to back a strong start by Matthew Liberatore as the St. Louis Cardinals handed the Chicago White Sox their sixth straight loss, 12-2 on Tuesday night. Alec Burleson went 3 for 5 for St. Louis, including his sixth home run, a solo shot in the seventh that made it 9-2. Victor Scott II — in the midst of a 5-for-35 slump — hit a two-run homer off Chicago position player Vinny Capra in the ninth. Donovan drove in a run, hit his 21st double and scored twice in his third four-hit game this season and the fifth of his career. Herrera had a two-run single in a five-run second inning. Michael A. Taylor took a home run away from Herrera leading off the fifth, but he came back to drive in a pair with a sixth-inning single. Liberatore (4-6) gave up two runs on five hits in six innings for his first win since beating the Pirates on May 6. Nolan Arenado singled to extend his hitting streak to seven games and spark the Cardinals' five-run second. Willson Contreras walked and later stole home — after a successful challenge — on a walk to Arenado to make it 6-1 in the fifth. Edgar Quero and Capra drove in Chicago's runs. St. Louis handed Chicago rookie starter Shane Smith (3-4) his worst defeat. Key moment Liberatore, who had surrendered 16 earned runs over 14 innings in his previous three starts, retired 10 of the next 11 batters after Quero's RBI single in the first. Key stat Smith allowed six runs — five earned — in 4 1/3 innings. He had given up more than three runs just once in his first 13 starts. Up next Cardinals RHP Sonny Gray (7-2, 3.84 ERA) starts Wednesday against White Sox RHP Sean Burke (3-7, 4.71).
