The Arizona Cardinals are currently undergoing a rebuild, and thus the team has parted ways with plenty of notable stars. 

Names such as J.J. Watt and DeAndre Hopkins are no longer with the squad. With a new coaching staff and front office in place, the Cardinals are undergoing a massive rebuild.

Thus, the door will be opening for plenty of young players to make an impact moving forward. 

Bleacher Report dubbed CB Marco Wilson as Arizona's most promising building block for the future. 

"Based on the parameters it's pretty slim pickings for the Arizona Cardinals. That's likely why they've essentially cleaned house and started over with new head coach Jonathan Gannon and general manager Monti Ossenfort. The Cardinals recent draft history is littered with misses, but Marco Wilson's improvement from Year 1 to Year 2 is cause for some hope," said B/R.

"As a rookie fourth-round draft pick, Wilson started 13 games, surrendering six touchdowns and a passer rating of 120.8 with no interceptions. In 2022, he cleaned up those numbers. He still started 13 games but had three picks and only gave up a passer rating of 77.1.

"Gannon was able to get great play out of Darius Slay and James Bradberry in 2022. It's a good bet that he's the right coach to help Wilson elevate his game to another level.

"If he makes the same kind of improvement in 2023, he could prove that he's a future starter on the outside for the foreseeable future."
