85 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 85?
85 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 85? With 85 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 85.
We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals and are now less than 13 weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 85 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. 85?
Cardinals players to wear No. 85
No. 85 now belongs to stud tight end Trey McBride. He might be the best to ever wear the number, although there have been a couple of impact players.
TE Trey McBride (2022-?)
WR Antoine Wesley (2021)
TE Dan Arnold (2020)
TE Charles Clay (2019)
TE Gabe Holmes (2017-2018)
TE Darren Fells (2014-2016)
WR Early Doucet (2011-2012)
WR Jerheme Urban (2007-2009)
TE John Bronson (2005)
Freddie Jones (2002-2004)
WR Rob Moore (1995-1999)
TE Derek Ware (1992-1994)
TE Tim Jorden (1991)
TE Jay Novacek (1985-1989)
WR Danny Pittman (1983-1984)
TE Jamie Williams (1983)
WR Mel Gray (1971-1982)
TE Taz Anderson (1961-1964)
WR Perry Richards (1960)
DL,WR, K Pat Summerall (1954-1957)
WR/DE Ralph Thomas (1950)
Gray is one of the Cardinals' best players from the 70s. He made four Pro Bowls. Novacek ended up having a fantastic career after leaving in free agency to the Dallas Cowboys. Moore was key in the mid-90s. McBride probably will end up being the best ever at the number in franchise history.
