Arizona Cardinals left tackle D.J. Humphries was snubbed from PFF’s rankings of the top 32 tackles in the league, and only one of the tackles in the NFC made the cut, but Arizona will face plenty of them.

In fact, they are scheduled to face 14 of them this coming season, including the top four overall.

They are listed below.
