The Arizona Cardinals have completed their offseason program as they prepare for the start of the 2024 NFL regular season. With 87 days left until their season opener against the Buffalo Bills, rookie third-round pick Tip Reiman will wear jersey number 87, previously worn by veteran tight end Geoff Swaim. Reiman is expected to make an impact right away, especially as a solid blocker.
In recent years, players like Swaim and tight end Maxx Williams have worn number 87 for the Cardinals. Williams played for the team from 2019 to 2022 and was highly praised by head coach Kliff Kingsbury for his versatility as a tight end. Despite not putting up huge receiving numbers, Williams was crucial to the offense, particularly in the running game.
Unfortunately, Williams suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2021 but returned to play 11 games in 2022, battling through the injury. Despite the challenges, Williams was still a valuable asset to the team. Ultimately, Williams is remembered as a key player for the Cardinals during his time with the team.
