NFL.com put together the best roster of players under 25, and the Cardinals had one player on the list.

Walter Nolen, the second-year defensive tackle for the Arizona Cardinals, has been selected to NFL.com's "All-Under-25 Team" by Nick Shook. Despite his rookie season being limited to just six games due to injury, Nolen made a significant impact in those limited appearances. In his first game back from injury, Nolen showcased his potential by recording a sack and four tackles, proving himself to be a disruptive force on the defensive line.

This selection requires some projection, but Nolen's performance in just six games is enough to indicate that he is a significant upgrade for Arizona's defensive line. Multiple coaches on the Cardinals' staff have praised Nolen's abilities, suggesting that a dominant career may be on the horizon, barring any further injuries. Unfortunately, Nolen left practice on Friday with what appeared to be a left knee injury, which could keep him out of action for days or weeks.
