Cardinals’ rookie draft picks number for 2026 season revealed

Cardinals rookies’ numbers released:

Love will be the 20th No. 4 in Cardinals history, the last time being wide receiver Greg Dortch last year. The most famous person to wear the white four was the late great Rondale Moore, who sadly passed away this past February. Beck will be the 31st No. 19, with the last two instances also being quarterbacks in Kedon Slovis and Trace McSorley. Super Bowl champion and Pro Bowler Tom Tupa is the most famous player to wear Beck’s number, with him starting from a quarterback to converting into a punter in his later years.

Of the final five draft picks, four are taking a players’ number from last years’ squad. The biggest example is fourth-round pick Kaleb Proctor taking Dalvin Tomlinsion’s No. 94 after the Cardinals cut him earlier in the offseason. The lone player to pick a number that hasn’t been used in years is offensive lineman Chase Bisontis. The No. 57 hasn’t been used since 2022. The 21-year-old is trying to make a name for himself, as he is expected to be the starting right guard at the beginning of the season.
