The 2017 Arizona Cardinals demonstrated great resilience by finishing with an 8-8 record despite season-ending injuries to key stars like Carson Palmer and David Johnson. In Bruce Arians' final season as head coach, the team remained competitive throughout the year, highlighted by a strong defensive performance from Chandler Jones, who led the NFL with 17 sacks and earned Pro Bowl honors alongside cornerback Patrick Peterson. An eight-time Pro Bowl selection and four-time All-Pro safety, Budda Baker is a cornerstone of the Arizona Cardinals defense known for his elite tackling ability and versatile playmaking since being drafted in the second round in 2017.
