Trey McBride: Arizona Cardinals’ Top Tight End and Breakout Player of 2022 Set to Wear No. 85 for Another Standout Season in 2023

As the NFL offseason continues, the Arizona Cardinals are just 85 days away from their first regular-season game in 2024 against the Buffalo Bills. The number 85 jersey belongs to tight end Trey McBride, who is considered one of the team’s best and most promising players in the league.

Trey McBride has emerged as an impact player and one of the top tight ends in the league. Despite a rocky rookie season and limited involvement in the passing game at the start of last season, he had a breakout year with 81 receptions, 825 yards, and three touchdowns. His impressive performance solidified his position as the team’s top tight end. If he maintains this level of play, he could go down as the best player to wear the No. 85 jersey for the Cardinals.

Starting with only 12 receptions in the first six games of the season, McBride’s performance picked up significantly. He had two 100-yard receiving games, a feat that hadn’t been achieved by a Cardinals tight end since 1988. Additionally, his 825 receiving yards were the second-highest for a tight end in franchise history.

McBride has set new standards for tight ends on the Cardinals team, and his talent and potential make him stand out from other players on roster.
