With 41 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 41.
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 41 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. 41?
Cardinals players to wear No. 41
Rookie outside linebacker Elliott Brown, who played in the Canadian Football League for the last two years, is the Cardinals' current No. 41.
No. 41 has not been a big-time number. Jimmy Hill was a three-time Pro Bowler. Drake was the best recent No. 41.

A.Q. Shipley replaces Ron Wolfley as radio analyst for Cardinals broadcast team

A.Q. Shipley will join Dave Pasch in the radio booth this year, replacing Ron Wolfley, who stepped down after 20 years. The Arizona Cardinals have decided on a new radio analyst to partner with Dave Pasch for their games this season. Replacing Ron Wolfley, who stepped down from the job after 20 years, is former Cardinals center A.Q. Shipley. The team made the announcement on Monday. Shipley played for the Cardinals from 2015-2019, playing in 110 games and starting 72. Since his NFL retirement, he has been a regular guest on the Pat McAfee Show on ESPN. He gives weekly breakdowns of offensive line play. He joins Pasch, entering his 24th season as the team's play-by-play announcer, and Paul Calvisi, the team's sideline reporter, who enters his 21st season with the team. Here were some of the reactions. Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire's Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.

Cardinals DC Nick Rallis should consider playing more 4-3 defensive schemes in 2025

Could a switch to a 4-3 defense give the Arizona Cardinals an advantage at the line of scrimmage? The Arizona Cardinals roster is loaded at the defensive linemen position as they prepare for the 2025 NFL season. Thus, defensive coordinator Nick Rallis may want to sequence in more 4-3 and nickel personnel groups to allow for the strength of his front four to cause more disruption at the line of scrimmage. Free agent additions Calais Campbell and Dalvin Thompson will accompany sophomore Darius Robinson and Dante Stills, who finished 2024 with 4.5 sacks. Obviously, the Cardinals will need to be more physical and forceful on defense to keep opponents off schedule. The Cardinals were dismal at getting off the field on third down last season, ranking 28th in opponent third-down conversion rate. Rallis also needs to process that the Cardinals allowed an average of 126 rush yards per game last season, a hint towards an obvious disadvantage with their 3-4 scheme. With smaller linebackers, the Cardinals were having a tough time halting opponents in the ground attack, so adjustments may benefit the team defense moving forward. Ultimately, Gannon is working to revamp the team playbook. Perhaps the installation of more 4-3 may be a part of Gannon's renovation.
