Seahawks DL Leonard Williams, a Cardinals killer, is No. 99 in 'NFL Top 100'
Seattle Seahawks DL Leonard Williams is No. 99 in the NFL Top 100 in 2025
The Arizona Cardinals will have a player announced as part of the "NFL Top 100" this week as they reveal players 91-100 throughout the week, but that player was not Nos. 99 or 100. Those players were revealed on Monday.
However, one was a Cardinals killer.
Coming in at No. 99 is Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Leonard Williams.
Williams might have single-handedly derailed the Cardinals' 2024 season. The Cardinals were 6-4 and in first place in the NFC West in Week 12 coming off their Week 11 bye. Facing the Seahawks that weekend, Williams wrecked the game. He had 2.5 sacks, six tackles, three tackles for loss, four quarterback hits and a tipped pass. The Seahawks beat the Cardinals 16-6, starting a 2-5 stretch to end the season.
In two games against the Cardinals, Williams had 11 tackles, 2.5 sacks, four tackles for loss, four QB hits and two tipped passes.
Cardinals tight end Trey McBride was featured in the video that revealed Williams was No. 99.
He said, "It's frustrating to see the impact that he makes in games. He obviously can wreck games."
Teammate Julian Love, a safety for the Seahawks, said Williams single-handledly won two games for Seattle and one was that game against the Cardinals in Week 12.
The Cardinals will face him twice more in 2025.

Last-place schedule gives 49ers edge over Rams in NFC West
In the betting odds for the 2025 season, the closest division race appears to be in the NFC West, where the 49ers are the slightest of favorites over the Rams — thanks in large part to the 49ers' last-place schedule. The 49ers are currently the betting favorites to win the NFC West at +165, while the Rams are just behind them at +175. Those odds don't necessarily mean the 49ers are viewed as the better team, however. Advertisement It's also important to note that the injury-riddled 49ers finished last in the NFC West last year and the Rams finished first, which gives the 49ers a big edge in the NFL's scheduling formula, which determines three opponents for each team. The scheduling formula means the 49ers get to play the last place teams in the NFC North, NFC East and AFC North from last season. Those teams are the Bears, Giants and Browns. In the early lines, the 49ers are favored in all three of those games. The Rams play the first-place teams in those divisions, the Lions, Eagles and Ravens. The Rams are underdogs in all three of those games. In a close division, those three games could be the difference, and could help the 49ers move from worst to first in the NFC West.
