5 NFL teams who could exceed expectations in the 2023 season ft. Steelers

#4 Arizona Cardinals

Paris Johnson Jr. could be the difference maker in the Cardinals' offense

Injuries derailed the Cardinals' 2022 campaign. Quarterback Kyler Murray, tight end Zach Ertz, offensive tackle DJ Humphries and safety Budda Baker were on IR by the time the team concluded its campaign with seven straight losses, tied for the most in franchise history.

Now, with everyone hopefully healthy, the Cardinals are looking to regroup, and they have seemingly found their savior: offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr.

The No. 10 pick was a member of C.J. Stroud's security blanket and performed well, and the brand-new head coach/general manager tandem of Jonathan Gannon and Monti Ossenfort will hope that he can do the same with Murray and return them to the playoffs after a year away.
