The Cardinals finished 10th in the NFL regarding run offense in 2021. Hudson returning is great news for Arizona fans as the three-time pro bowler is a crucial piece to Arizona’s offensive line.
Arizona signed Hudson to a 3-year $30 million contract during the 2021 offseason. However, after suffering a rib injury in week 5, he seemed to be hurt for the remaining of the season even after missing weeks 6-9.
Rodney Hudson was ranked as the leagues 6th best center via Touchdown wire.
He will look to build on his already impressive resume as he reports to the field for the first time this summer with the veterans next Tuesday.
