The 147-target, 111-catch statline that Trey McBride put together in 2024 is all one needs to know to understand the Cardinals’ tendency of turning to their Pro Bowl tight end in must-convert situations. Faced with a 2nd & 10 and the Panthers on their case, Arizona turned to their talented No. 85 once more, and McBride delivered, finding a middle-of-the-field seam before turning upfield for a 31-yard reception. The Cardinals needed plays of every type to survive Carolina’s feistiness on Sept. 14, 2025; bringing them in abundance during a 27-22 win in Week 2, McBride hustled his way into a six-catch, 78-yard afternoon, alongside a team-high four first downs.
