The Arizona Cardinals are gearing up for the 2024 NFL season, and the excitement is building! In just 93 days, they'll kick off the season at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, facing off against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1.
Here are some key highlights:
-
Justin Jones Joins the Team: New defensive lineman Justin Jones, sporting No. 93, has signed a three-year free agent deal this offseason. Jones is expected to be a game-changer, excelling against both the run and as a pass rusher. In 2023, he recorded a career-high 4.5 sacks and 17 QB hits.
-
History of No. 93: The Cardinals' previous No. 93, Jonathan Ledbetter, made significant contributions to the team. Ledbetter, who is currently unsigned after an ACL injury last year, became a crucial player over his three seasons with the Cardinals. He started all 12 games he played in last season, achieving a career-high of 46 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Additionally, he was honored as the 2023 Walter Payton Man of the Year for his community service.

Legacy of No. 93: The No. 93 jersey has been worn by other notable Cardinals players such as Calais Campbell, Kyle Vanden Bosch, and Mark Smith. Each of these players left their mark, but Ledbetter was the most recent to have a significant impact on the field.
As we count down to the start of the season, the anticipation is palpable. Will Justin Jones follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and become the next standout No. 93 for the Cardinals? Only time will tell, but fans have plenty of reasons to be excited for what’s to come!
