Garrett Bradbury – Center

One of the Cards’ biggest disappointments this fall has been the knee injury that has sidelined center Rodney Hudson for the past eight matchups. In hindsight, the franchise should’ve allowed the three-time Pro Bowler to retire when he was contemplating his future last summer.

Arizona will need to move in a different direction at the position in ’23, and Garrett Bradbury would be an outstanding replacement for Hudson. The 6 foot 3, 300 pounder has started 57 games for the Minnesota Vikings, and the Redbirds could sure use his toughness after their experience with Hudson.

A back ailment did keep Bradbury out of Minnesota’s loss this past Sunday to the Detroit Lions. If the injury isn’t serious, it would behoove the Cardinals to pursue the anchor of the Vikings offensive line next spring.
