The Arizona media awards Trey McBride and Parish Johnson Jr. with team awards.
The Arizona Cardinals finish things up on Sunday with a game against the Los Angeles Rams.
However, before that game, the local media voted on a couple of awards and not shocking, Trey McBride was the 2025 Arizona Cardinals Lloyd Herberg MVP Award.
From the team:
McBride was named team MVP after a record-setting season in 2025 which included his second consecutive selection to the Pro Bowl. With one game remaining this season, he has set career-highs with 119 receptions for 1,174 yards and 11 touchdowns. His 119 receptions are a new NFL single-season record for a tight end and also set a new franchise record for the most receptions in a season. He became the first tight end in NFL history with 100+ receptions in consecutive seasons (111 in 2024) and is one of three tight ends in NFL history with 100+ receptions, 1,000+ receiving yards and 10+ touchdowns in a season (Dallas Clark, Travis Kelce). McBride’s 340 career receptions are the most by a tight end in NFL history in a player’s first four seasons.
The MVP award was named after Lloyd Herberg, a former Cardinals beat writer for the Arizona Republic. Herberg covered the Cardinals from 1988, when the team moved to Arizona, until his death in May of 1994. Herberg fought a courageous battle with cancer.
Meanwhile, Paris Johnson Jr. was named the Steve Schoenfeld Good Guy Award for his cooperation and insight in dealing with the media.
From the team:
Johnson was recognized for being available, insightful and professional while communicating with reporters this season.
The good guy award is named after another former Arizona Republic writer. Steve Schoenfeld covered the Cardinals and the NFL for the Republic from 1988 to 2000. A former national president of the PFWA, Schoenfeld was tragically killed by a hit-and-run driver in October of 2000.
Congratulations to both!
