78 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 78?
With 78 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 78.
We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals and are now less than 12 weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 78 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. 78?
Cardinals players to wear No. 78
Undrafted rookie tackle Josh Fryar is the Cardinals player currently wearing No. 78. That number hasn't been worn in a few years.
Freddie Joe Nunn wore multiple numbers and was one of the best pass rushers the Cardinals have had since the late 80s. Yankowski was a good pass rusher for a decade for the Cardinals. Sacks were not an official stat in the 70s, but Pro Football Reference credits him with 30 in his career.
Perhaps at some point again, the Cardinals will find another impact No. 78.

Cards complete 3-game sweep of Guardians with 7-0 victory
CLEVELAND (AP) — Nolan Gorman belted a three-run homer, Victor Scott II had a two-run shot and Matthew Liberatore won his career-high third straight start and the St. Louis Cardinals rolled to a 7-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Gorman went deep in the first inning off Logan Allen (5-6), while Scott homered off Hunter Gaddis in the seventh to extend the Cardinals' lead to 5-0. Pedro Pagés and Garrett Hampson added RBIs in the eighth. Advertisement St. Louis has won six straight on the road, its longest run under fourth-year manager Oliver Marmol. The Cardinals completed their initial series sweep of Cleveland by a 21-6 margin in the three-game set. Liberatore (6-6) tossed six innings, striking out five while allowing three hits and five walks. JoJo Romero, Riley O'Brien and John King wrapped up the combined three-hitter that included eight bases on balls. Allen gave up three runs in six innings for Cleveland, which went 1-5 on its homestand and fell two games below .500 for the first time since April 8. Guardians shortstop Gabriel Arias was taken off the field on a cart after sustaining a left ankle sprain in the third, but X-rays of his lower leg were negative. He caught his left spikes on the grass while going into the hole to field a grounder by Masyn Winn. Advertisement Key moment With two outs in the first and Winn and Willson Contreras aboard, Gorman hammered Allen's sweeper 428 feet into the right-center field stands. Key stat Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado singled in the third for his 1,900th hit and had his 400th double in the sixth. He was removed for 'cautionary reasons' in the eighth, according to the team. Up next Cardinals: RHP Erick Fedde (3-7, 4.11 ERA) starts the opener of a three-game series Monday in Pittsburgh. Guardians: RHP Gavin Williams (5-3, 3.68 ERA) pitches Tuesday to begin a three-game set at the Chicago Cubs. ___ AP MLB: Brian Dulik, The Associated Press
