ARIZONA — Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride was named to the Associated Press' All-Pro team for the 2025 season, marking the first honor of McBride's young career.

He earned all but one vote for first-team honors.

McBride also made his second consecutive Pro Bowl for the incredible season he had. He was the only Cardinals player to land on any of the All-Pro teams:

"Three other Cardinals received All-Pro votes. Safety Budda Baker, a former All-Pro himself, got two votes. Punter Matt Haack, who played just seven games but averaged 51.3 yards a punt on 25 attempts, got a vote. And the ageless Calais Campbell got one vote but it was a first-place vote for special teams," wrote AZCardinals.com's Darren Urban.

"Baker was a second-team All-Pro last season, and Baker's first-team nod in 2020 was the last time a Cardinals made the first team. The last time the Cardinals had an offensive player named All-Pro was running back David Johnson in 2016."
