The Arizona Cardinals hope to return to the postseason for the second season in a row after an 11-win 2021 campaign. To do that, they will have to protect quarterback Kyler Murray.
It won’t be easy.
In the 2022 season, they are slated to face several top pass rushers.
ESPN put together a list of the top 10 pass rushers in the NFL, based on votes by NFL team executives, coaches and players.
The Cardinals will face seven of them. Who are they?
Nick Bosa, San Francisco 49ers – No. 3 (Week 11, Week 18)
Joey Bosa, Los Angeles Chargers – No. 4 (Week 12)
Maxx Crosby, Las Vegas Raiders – No. 5 (Week 2)
Chandler Jones, Las Vegas Raiders – No. 7 (Week 2)
Brian Burns, Carolina Panthers – No. 8 (Week 4)
Khalil Mack, Los Angeles Chargers – No. 9 (Week 12)
Cameron Jordan, New Orleans Saints – No. 10 (Week 7)
Tampa Bay’s Shaquil Barrett and Minnesota’s Danielle Hunter also received honorable mention. The Cardinals will face Barrett in Week 16 and Hunter in Week 8.
Tackles D.J. Humphries and Kelvin Beachum will have their hands full this coming season.
