As we awaken on this Saturday morning, we are getting closer to the start of the 2024 NFL regular season. The Arizona Cardinals will kick off their season on the road against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. This highly anticipated game is just 92 days away. The Cardinals have high hopes for the upcoming season and are looking forward to making an impact on the field.
Currently, the No. 92 jersey belongs to defensive lineman Bilal Nichols, who recently signed a three-year deal as a free agent. Nichols is expected to be a key player on the Cardinals’ defense and an impact player on the field. The team is excited to see what he can bring to the table this season.
In the past, players like Kevin Strong, Antwaun Woods, and Zach Kerr have all worn No. 92 for the Cardinals, but they did not have a significant impact on the team. However, Frostee Rucker was a notable player who wore the number from 2015-2017. Rucker was a key player on the field, serving as both a starter and a rotational player. He also provided leadership in the locker room and played 73 games over five seasons with the team.
During his time with the Cardinals, Rucker recorded 106 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 25 tackles for loss, 42 quarterback hits, four forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. He had a successful 12-year NFL career and left a lasting impact on the team.
