Top 8 Bold Predictions for the Arizona Cardinals 2022 season
Arizona Cardinals bold prediction number four:
player. . Trey McBride wins OROY. . 4. 32. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
There are a handful of associations that give out a “Rookie of the year award.” But only one tight end has ever done that with the Associated Press (the most prestigious of all such awards). That tight end was none other than Mike Ditka back in 1961 for the Chicago Bears.
Ditka had over 1,000 yards receiving that season, a rookie tight end record that still stands today. Now McBride won’t get that high, but he will lead all rookie tight ends in that regard. What will really get him the award is how many redzone touchdowns he’ll score.
Tall and built like a freight train, McBride is going to be a problem for opposing defenses to cover, given the rest of McBride’s teammates who will line up next to him. In addition, there could be a lot of feasting for the young tight end out of Colorado State as DeAndre Hopkins and crew will demand a lot of attention (of course, when Hopkins is back).
