Training camp trends suggest the 2025 passing game will still be all about Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr.
What will the Arizona Cardinals’ passing attack look like in the regular season?
Last season, tight end Trey McBride and receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. were the main targets. Together they combined for 263 of the team’s 523 total targets in the passing game. Slightly more than half (50.3%) of the targets were for those two players.
Will there be a more spread-out attack in 2025?
Maybe not, at least based on training camp targets.
Arizona Republic beat writer Theo Mackie tracked the targets in practice when the first-team offense was getting reps. These are the numbers:
Harrison and McBride accounted for 27 of the 43 passing targets, or 62.8%.
Obviously, teams will try to find ways to limit the impact of those two, but between the running game expected to be shared between James Conner and Trey Benson and the number of targets for Harrison and McBride, we should probably expect small numbers for the rest of the supporting cast.
