Budda Baker climbs to No. 34 on the 2025 NFL Top 100, marking his sixth straight year on the list and a dramatic 55-spot rise from 2024. His 2024 campaign featured a career-high 164 tackles (second in the league), 2 sacks, and 5 pass breakups, cementing him as the heart of Arizona’s defense. Peers label him a dog and the defense’s energy center, and Baker’s leap lands alongside the Cardinals’ other Top 100 picks, underscoring his impact in both coverage and run support. For fantasy, Baker’s high tackle floor plus big-play potential keeps him among the elite IDP safeties entering 2025.
