Player No. 41 in the ‘NFL Top 100’ is a division rival the Cardinals face twice in 2025.
The NFL wrapped up its sixth week revealing players in the “NFL Top 100.” This week, players 41-50 were been revealed. On Friday, another player the Arizona Cardinals will face as in 2025, this one twice, was revealed.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua comes in at No. 41 after being ranked No. 33 a year ago.
Rams teammate, defensive lineman Kobie Turner, said that Nacua “is the spark” of the Rams’ offense. “Everything that we have goes through him.”
After a record-setting rookie season with 105 receptions for 1,486 yards, he missed six games last season but still had 79 catches for 990 yards in 11 games. In three career games against the Cardinals, he has 18 catches for 182 yards.
The Cardinals face the Rams and Nacua twice in the final six games of the regular season, once in Week 14 and then in the regular-season finale in Week 18.
