36 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 36?
We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals, and we are less than six weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 36 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. 36?
Cardinals players to wear No. 36
Safety Kitan Crawford, a rookie drafted in the seventh round, wears No. 36. We will see if he can make the team.
The Cardinals have had a few solid players with No. 36. Budda Baker is probably the best but is known more for No. 3 now. Sikahema was very good and grew up in Mesa, Arizona. Lane was a good running back and Reaves was also good.
And more recent Cardinals fans will remember how fun a player Stephens-Howling was.

Rashid Shaheed has one-word response to teammate's claim about Saints' fastest player
'I'd bet my game check on it' Rashid Shaheed is one of the fastest players in the NFL, but he might have competition from one of his own teammates. New Orleans Saints running back Velus Jones Jr. is known for his speed -- he timed the 40-yard dash in just 4.31 seconds at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, and more recently got the better of the entire Saints defense on a surprise third-down draw play. And he wants it known that he isn't just the fastest player in the running backs room. He'll race anybody at Saints training camp. "Fastest one on the team," Jones confirmed to reporters after Sunday's scrimmage. "But you can't coach speed. I feel like I've shown some glimpses of how dangerous I can be, a home run hitter." Jones was drafted by the Chicago Bears to play wide receiver, but he showed more promise as a rusher, and the Jacksonville Jaguars tried him out in that role last year, too. All told he's gained more yards on the ground (165) than through the air (135) in his three-year NFL career so far, clocking an impressive 8.3 yards per carry. And when he says he's the fastest player in the locker room, that includes Rashid Shaheed. When asked if he could outrace Shaheed one-on-one, Jones answered with confidence: "For sure. For sure. Yeah, I'd bet my game check on that." While we don't have a 40 time to compare them with (Shaheed was still recovering from a college knee injury at his pro day and didn't test in the 40-yard dash), Shaheed has routinely ranked among the league's fastest players. He hit 21.13 miles per hour on his 53-yard touchdown catch against the Arizona Cardinals back in 2022. He reached 20.52 miles per hour on a 47-yard punt return against the Carolina Panthers last season. When he has a runway, he can fly. And Shaheed wasn't fazed by Jones' comments. He shared a one-word response on social media to Jones' claims: "No." If the two line up for a sprint later in camp, they'll draw a lot of eyes.

35 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 35?
With 35 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 35. We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals, and we are exactly five weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 35 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. 35? Cardinals players to wear No. 35 Cornerback Ekow Boye-Doe, a long shot to make the final roster, is the Cardinals' current No. 35. Otis was a solid running back for the Cardinals, but this is an easy choice for the best No. 35, and that is Williams, a Hall of Famer. He got a championship with the Rams after leaving Arizona, but he was the best cornerback of the 90s not named Deion Sanders, and had he not played for a bad Cardinals team, he might have been seen as Sanders' equal.

Packers' Bo Melton takes big step in converting from wide receiver to cornerback
Bo knows cornerback. At least, that's how it's looking at Green Bay Packers training camp right now for Bo Melton. Melton has been a wide receiver in the NFL up until this summer. His brother is a corner for the Arizona Cardinals, but Melton hadn't followed that same path. Now, though, Melton is pretty much playing exclusively cornerback to try and make the Packers' roster. He and Green Bay both likely saw the writing on the wall at wide receiver. He was at best seventh on this current depth chart that includes Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Matthew Golden and Savion Williams. MORE: Micah Parsons breaks silence on his trade request Packers fans got a good look at Melton on Friday night at the Packers' Family Night training camp practice in the evening, and on at least one occasion, he looked up to the task. Lined up one-on-one with the speedy rookie Golden out wide, Melton matched him nearly step for step and did a good job to help break up a pass down the field. There's nothing Melton did there that screams, "This guy hasn't played cornerback before." MORE: Buccaneers' coach reveals chances of Shilo Sanders making Tampa Bay NFL roster Green Bay is a heck of a lot thinner and weaker at CB than WR, so if Melton can really show he belongs, it'd be a huge help. He also likely has an exponential learning curve there. He's got more room to grow since it's not a position he has played at this level before. Melton's best tests may come in the preseason games, when he's less familiar with the opposition and will have to react in real time. If he impresses there, he can seriously make this team. And it'd be a win for everyone, from Melton himself to the corner-needy Packers.
