Ranking the top 10 Arizona Cardinals in franchise history

9. Aeneas Williams, CB (1991-2000)

Williams was the first Cardinal who played in Arizona to be immortalized in Canton. He’s also part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s All-1990s team.

A third-round draft choice in 1991, Williams started 159 of his 160 games played with the Redbirds, twice being a first-team All-Pro. His 46 picks are the second-most in the franchise history, while no one has more than his eight defensive scores — including six on interceptions.

Williams earned Pro Bowl selections seven times as a cornerback — all in Arizona — and once more as a safety while with St. Louis, where he ended his 14-year career.
